BAYWATCH was famed for bestowing the world with a long line of gorgeous humans to look at on a Saturday night.

One stunner from the show was even crowned Playmate Of The Year during Baywatch's heyday after she was selected to become a Playboy bunny.

And more than three decades on, Jenny McCarthy appears to have aged backwards.

Now 51, the American actress and model has defied the decades and looks just as young and glamorous as she did in the 90s.

Jenny started her career posing for Playboy and went on to enjoy massive success as a pinup during the 90s.

Hugh Hefner had reportedly offered her $20,000 (£15,700) to pose nude for the magazine's October issue in 1993 after she had fought off competition from 10,000 applicants.

By 1994, Jenny had been crowned Playmate Of The Year.

Jenny went on to present on Playboy TV before she was offered a job with MTV as a host of a dating show - and her career then rocketed.

She has since gone on to appear in a long list of popular TV shows and movies, including Scream 3, Two and a Half Men and Charmed.

Jenny was given the chance to slip into a sexy swimsuit and star alongside David Hasselhoff in Baywatch in 1996.

The blonde beauty took on the guest part of April Morella in the hugely popular US show and made a big impact on the lead star and executive producer.

The following year, Jenny was invited back to play herself in an episode called Beach Blast.

Given her credentials, the story saw her drafted in by Mitch Buchannon (Hasselhoff) to host a televised charity tournament between MTV stars and lifeguards from Baywatch.

These days, she can be found on the panel of the American series of The Masked Singer.

She has been married to New Kids On The Block star Donnie Wahlberg since 2014 and her 21-year-old son, Evan, who is from a former relationship, works backstage on the show as a production assistance.

"He works with the audience and if you come on the show, he will greet you," Jenny recently said in an interview.

"He might throw a T-shirt you way, he's helpful backstage. And he is on Cloud Nine."

She added: "The first day he went to work, I couldn't sleep at night.

"It was like saying goodbye to him and going, you know, remember when kindergarten? When you send your kid away? But I'm going to work with him.

"But still, it was like, 'Oh God, I hope he does okay!'"

Controversially, Jenny is a staunch anti-vaxxer and has faced a big backlash over the years over claims a vaccine 'gave her son autism'.
