The singer appeared on the cover of FHM eight times and regularly featured in the magazine’s Sexiest Woman of the Year vote.
Talking to The Sun, Stevens, who is now a mum to daughters Amelie and Minnie, said: “I’m super proud of my lads mags shoots. They were so fun. I really loved them.
“To look back on them now makes me so chuffed. They bring lovely memories.”
She added: "The last shoot I ever did I was in the early stage of pregnancy with my second daughter, about two months, so to have those pictures and know I was in the early days of pregnancy with Minnie was special."
Discussing her status as a sex symbol with the Daily Mail recently, Stevens said: “It's lovely that people still view me as a sex symbol.
“But I definitely feel like I've got more confident and sexier as I've got older.

“Your body is always changing, which is great, but you know more what you want out of life, too, and that inner confidence gives you more sexiness. It makes you feel more confident and that's where it comes from.”
Stevens last musical release was album Come and Get It in 2005.
She has since took part in reality TV, competing in Strictly Come Dancing and finishing runner up in 2008, as well as an appearance on Celebrity Mastermind in 2017.
