Caprice Bourret, 53, shows off her lithe physique as she models her latest lingerie range - after filming her SECOND festive film in Scotland

Caprice Bourret fans were treated to a belated Christmas present on Monday as she launched a new modelling campaign for her raunchy lingerie range - after starting work on her second festive film. 

The American model showed off her lithe physique while debuting a series of lacy creations from her Peacocks collection of underwear and negligees. 

Caprice, 53, claimed the spotlight as she modelled stockings and skimpy sheer undergarments from her very own Loved By range of clothing. 

The California born model has returned to the day job after kicking off the year by shooting her second consecutive Christmas film, this time in Scotland. 

Giving Instagram followers a first look at her latest project, titled A Scottish Christmas Secret, she wrote: 'And so it begins up in Scotland shooting another Christmas movie having a blast ... can't wait for everyone to see it ... and am so grateful for my incredible cast and crew.' 

Her latest movie comes just weeks after she made her screen debut in A European Christmas, a romantic drama co-starring Philip Boyd, Victoria Ekanoye and Blue singer Duncan James, on December 1. 

Caprice played Ivy Allen, a struggling, cynical film director who seeks out hunky actor Hunter Williams, the star of her debut movie, in a bid to recapture her old magic.

But after tracking him down in snowy Serbia, Allen - bitter and emotionally wounded after being dumped by a former fiancé over the festive period, gets more than she bargained for.

The model and entrepreneur produced and financed the Channel 5 film herself, but previously admitted she would never have ventured into movie-making were it not for the courage she gained from surviving a brain tumour.

She told Weekend magazine: 'It's such a huge blessing. The bull**** doesn't mean anything to me any more. The parties, which I used to love, mean nothing to me. It's all about my family now. I do what I love to do as work, and that's it. I'm not scared any more.'

Caprice was training for the winter sports reality show The Jump seven years ago when a scan revealed the terrible news.

'When somebody says you have a brain tumour you think, "Oh my God, I'm gonna die. I have two three-year-olds and I'm gonna die." That was awful, a tough time.

'The doctor said, "It's not cancer but it's a grower."

'That's just as dangerous, evidently. You could wake up one day and the whole left side of your body will never move again, so you've got to get rid of it.'

The model also admitted there were huge risks involved in the treatment for meningioma.

'This is brain surgery,' she explained. 'There's a chance you'll wake up and something won't work, something will have gone wrong.'

The operation took seven hours and involved temporarily removing part of her skull to remove the tumour.

'I wasn't aware how extreme it would be. When I woke up there were tubes coming out of everything, I was in the intensive care unit but it looked like the Starship Enterprise.'

Caprice appeared on the covers of hundreds of magazines during the 1990s and Noughties including Vogue, Playboy and Sports Illustrated.

When lad mags were huge in Britain, Caprice was their darling. After a few bit parts in Hollywood she moved to London and acted in Hollyoaks and spy thriller The Dream Team with Roger Moore, and appeared on celebrity versions of Big Brother and Come Dine With Me, and on Dancing On Ice.

She took control of her image at the start of the century, forming her own company and launching a lingerie range with Debenhams.

She later bought back the licence and By Caprice expanded into homeware and other products.

Caprice still models her line of underwear with Peacocks and is said to be worth around £24million.
