Jasmyn Banks is oozing sex appeal.

The actress, 22, is posing for the camera and pouting like a pro for Now.

But when she gets a glimpse of how the pics are looking, Jasmyn, who plays meek Alice in EastEnders, breaks into girly giggles - shocked by just how sexy she looks.

'Maybe the BBC writers could give Alice a hot new transformation?' she laughs.

'It's amazing and I feel really sexy, but I don't think I'd be so good at throwing it together myself.

'When I was at school, I wore velour tracksuits and big hoop earrings and had a fringe gelled on my forehead.

'[Laughs] Don't judge me!

'Someone's going to unearth those pictures one day.'

Jasmyn went to the Italia Conti stage school withPixie Lottand aims to be in Hollywood in 5 years' time.

She'd love to be cast in the kind of films Kate Winslet has starred in. 

'Kate's had a fantastic career,' she says, 'and some great roles.'
