Mumba: I'm ready to strip

Irish singer Samantha Mumba has changed her mind about stripping on screen, in a bid to rescue her Hollywood career.

The 21-year-old was inundated with offers to appear nude in movies after impressing studio bosses in her big screen debut The Time Machine.

But she turned down the steamy roles and her film career has stuttered.

So Mumba - who is dating fellow chart star Sisqo - has changed her mind.

She explains: "I'm not opposed to nudity. But only if it's necessary for the script.

"I received a lot of film offers after my first movie, The Time Machine. I turned them down because they were either predictable or involved me taking my clothes off.

"But the older I get, the more comfortable I feel about my body."
