Adele Silva: 'I don't think I'm sexy'

Emmerdale star Adele Silva has confessed that she doesn't think she is sexy.

The actress, who returns to her role as Kelly Windsor in the soap later this month, admitted that while featuring in photoshoots for men's magazines such as FHM is flattering, she doesn't take it too seriously.

"When I'm 64 and I've had eight children, I'll be able to say: 'See, kids, that's what Mummy used to be like!'" she told OK! magazine.

"In this business you can be papped on the beach any time and it can be unflattering, so when you get asked to do a shoot for a men's magazine and you have your hair, make-up and airbrushing done, you think, why not?

"It's very flattering but I don't think of myself like that. It just makes me laugh. I have as much sexiness in me as a fly!"
