ITV`s new breakfast newsreader Tasmin Khan strips off in a series of raunchy pictures which will stun her telly bosses.

The beauty has signed up to read the headlines on new flagship morning show Daybreak, alongside hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley.

But programme chiefs will be astonished to see her pouting poses.

Tasmin, 30, was snapped for the sexy shots between 2003 and 2006.

One shows the smiling newsgirl showing off her charms while sporting only a colourful necklace.

Others show her in underwear or lying in the nude.

Brainy Tasmin - whose real name is Farhana - grew up in Hendon, North West London, with her Bengali family.

She went on to graduate from Oxford University with a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and later landed her first job in telly with cable channel Zee TV.

Tasmin then joined the BBC`s Asian Network and Channel Five before landing newsreading roles on BBC Three and BBC News 24.

She will begin her role on Daybreak when the show launches next month in place of GMTV.

Last year she hit the headlines and became a sensation on website YouTube after managing to read out just 28 words of a BBC Three bulletin as she panted live on air.

Producers later revealed she had arrived late at the studio for the broadcast, leaving her gasping for breath.

A source said last night: "Everyone involved with Daybreak was excited that Tasmin was joining the team.

"But now the crew`s eyes will be out on stalks the first time they see her stride on to the set. She`s a stunning girl and the photos have certainly set tongues wagging."
