At 40, Carmen Electra has the same banging body she had when she was 25, so it’s no wonder she’s itching to show it off. This is precisely what she does in the latest issue of InTouch magazine, which sees her back in her Baywatch swimsuit.

Indeed, the former star of the hit TV series has agreed to wear the red swimsuit once more.

Carmen herself admits that she was a bit nervous at the idea at first, thinking she could not pull it off after so many years but, once she got on the set, into the swimsuit and in front of the camera, it was all good.

“Once I got it on, I felt amazing. It was a million times better than I thought it would be,” she says.

Surely, her fans from back in the day will agree that she looks just as fit and good as ever.

Carmen credits her protein- and vegetable-heavy diet for her amazing figure, but she’s honest about indulging every once in a while in a cupcake or some other treat.

“I feel better than I did at 25!” she gushes for the publication.

Of course, Carmen also works out – and has been very active since before she broke into the spotlight, when she was a dancer.

“I still have the discipline I learned when I studied ballet growing up,” she says.

Now that she’s done the “back in the Baywatch swimsuit again” thing, Carmen reveals she’s ready to revisit other experiences from the past as well, such as posing for Playboy.

“[I'd say] Yes! I love Playboy – they supported me from the beginning. I heard I've had the third-most covers of anyone, after Pamela [Anderson] and Anna Nicole Smith. I'm very proud of that!” Miss Electra enthuses.
