Anais Zanotti, 30, who lives in Miami, first became interested in the high-flying sport when a friend recommended it to her.

Now the brunette, who has modelled for Playboy, GQ, Esquire and Maxim and has 35 cover shoots under her belt, is a pro who teaches other adrenaline junkies how to jump from a plane, thousands of feet in the air.

The French-born model, who has skydived more than 1,350 times, said: 'I love the freedom once you leave the plane - your brain stops thinking.

'If I am having a bad day at work I just forget about it when I open my parachute.

'I am so happy I scream - it's such a thrill.

'I have always loved extreme sports and when I was in France I had a motorcycle.

'One of my friends suggested I try skydiving and when ten of us went I was the only one who said I was coming back, I became obsessed.

'I watched videos, bought a suit, had a dream about it and when I woke up I called for lessons to learn to skydive properly.'
