The 13 women met in Wickersley last Sunday to shoot the saucy scenes, which will appear in a Cancer Research UK fundraiser.

They had managed to sell all 100 copies of the Simply the Breast calendar before it was even printed, raising £1,000 for the medical charity.

Mum-of-two Kirsty Watts (44) assembled the group — aged from 29 to 61 — with a Facebook post.

After completing several charity runs, the plucky mum was looking for a fresh challenge.

After the shoot, she said: “It was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere when we met up was brilliant.

“Everyone said they were scared in the run up, but on the day everyone’s inhibitions went and we just got on with it.

“We couldn’t have wished for a better day.”

Online and offline sponsorship has raised a further £3,000, pushing the total above £4,000.

Kirsty said: “The feedback has been amazing, so we’ve ordered another 50 calendars.

“We’re over the moon to have sold them all — we just can’t believe it.”
