Hi-Five For Ralph Magazine

Hi-5's Kellie Crawford sheds image, clothes.

Hi-5 founding member Kellie Crawford has shed her colourful work clothes to pose in some steamy shots for lads’ mag, Ralph.

Kellie, who was one fifth of the hugely popular children’s band for a decade, has caused controversy with the revealing shoot, with family groups saying it sends the wrong message to little girls. A spokeswoman for Kids Free 2B Kids, has told News Ltd the shoot is irresponsible, "Older teenage girls will wonder why performers feel the need to pornify their image,” she said.

“They are damaged and harmed by messages that they need to sexualise or there is no success.”
Kellie's reply?
"After working in children's television for 10 years, and always being pinned into your clothes so no one can see your belly button if you lift your hands up, and always having your cleavage covered, and me being the tomboy of the three girls, it was something I did for myself to remind myself that I am a woman."

Sounds like it was more of..."I don't have a steady income anymore so any sort of exposure (pun intended) will only be good for my bank balance"
