The late great soul singer Sam Cooke was well known for his beautiful voice, but his namesake, glamour model Sam Cooke, is famous for her beautiful eyes and jaw-dropping figure. The Page 3 girl, who has also worked for lads' mags including FHM, Zoo, Nuts and Loaded is romantically linked with Manchester United's Chris Smalling.

The Manchester-born model isn't your typical sexy WAG however, she has brains too. Before her career in semi-nudity kicked off, Cooke - the tastiest Cookie on the planet - was considering a future in Bio-Chemistry, having studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology at college. Luckily for us, and perhaps to the detriment of the field of scientific research, the 27-year-old bombshell decided to enter into The Sun's 'Page 3 Idol' competition, which she won in 2006. Ever since, Cooke has been making the days of men around the world slightly brighter by showing off her goods and wearing skimpy outfits.

I'm sure her bedside manner and companionship made Chris Smalling's recent recovery from a broken metatarsal bone, which saw him miss the start of the season, much easier and the England and United defender was probably gutted when he had to return to the training ground and swap Nurse Cooke's tender touch for Sir Alex Ferguson's hairdryer treatment.

In her spare time, Sam Cooke DJ's around the world, and has performed in clubs in Malaysia, Egpyt and Ibiza. But for now, lets just concentrate on her modelling work.
