Stephanie reveals he troubled past as she overcomes her fears

Stephanie Pratt might seem the picture of confidence, but she's revealed it's not always been the case, as she overcomes her fears and strips topless for a new racy magazine shoot.

Posing for the jaw-dropping snaps in lads mag FHM , Stephanie shows off her killer figure in a range of seductive poses.

From flaunting her pins in nothing but some tiny knickers and a t-shirt in bed, to wearing an open jacket and ditching the bra completely, the star proves she's overcome her fears for good.

The blonde beauty even poses completely topless on the cover, and appears relaxed and happy as she prepares to reveal all about her troubled past.

She told the mag: "Growing up, I was always a tomboy and I didn't have a lot of self-confidence. This is the ultimate sexy magazine, so it's really cool."

The star is currently dating Made in Chelsea co-star Josh Shepherd, and couldn't look happier in the confident shoot.

Now she hopes to release an explosive tell-all book about her struggles with drugs and arrests.

She added: "It's coming out later in the year, and it's about me growing up.

"It's got stuff about family, getting everything I've ever wished for, my descent into drugs and rehab and arrests."

Stephanie - whose brother is reality star Spencer Pratt - will also lift the lid on his antics in the book.

Woah - taking the plunge in racy shoot

Asked about the difference between 'posh' US girls and Brits, she explained: "Girls here are way more reserved. Like, they still get totally wild, but they can keep it classy while they're doing it whereas in the States, you'll catch us falling out of clubs barefoot."

And describing a 'posh' night out overseas, she went on: "'It always starts with a dinner: the most exclusive restaurant you can get into, of course. And then it's the hottest club with a table in the VIP section and then car service – a huge SUV or sports car to whisk you home.

"The goal is to never wait for anything – a drink, entry to the club, your table, anything. In LA, the amount of time you have to wait for anything pretty much determines how important you are."
