Kate Moss and David Walliams' fiancee have proved they are laydees by stripping off for the cover of a magazine.

Eight supermodels, including Naomi Campbell, appear naked in identical poses for the latest issue of LOVE.

The magazine has produced eight different covers - one for each model - and has even printed their individual measurements.

The biannual title, on sale from Monday next week, contains a 40-page shoot featuring the supermodels.

Comedian Walliams, famous for playing a cross-dressing "laydee" in Little Britain, proposed to Dutch model Lara Stone, 25, last month.

LOVE's editor Katie Brand said: "For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover.

"We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements. The point is that 'perfection' is not fixed, timeless or transcendent. It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show."

The other models to appear are Natalia Vodianova, Amber Valletta, Jeneil Williams, Kristen McMenamy and Daria Werbowy.

Photographer Mert Alas said: "It was interesting to study them naked all in the same pose, as they are all so different, but all so powerful looking."

LOVE, published by Conde Nast, put 15-stone Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto naked on the cover for its launch issue in February last year.
