Nuts Magazine 28 October – 3 November 2005 Kayleigh Pearson Real Girl of the Year 2005 SKU 1481

Original Nuts Magazine dated 28 October – 3 November 2005, with Kayleigh Pearson as the main cover star.

This issue is heavily focused on the magazine's “Real Girl of the Year 2005” competition, with the front cover promoting a major feature featuring 50 contestants and Kayleigh Pearson presenting the competition.

The cover uses a distinctive purple, black and metallic-gold design with Kayleigh as the principal model. Smaller cover photographs show several of the Real Girl contestants, including names visible as Aimee, Gemma, Rebecca, Jamie, Kiran and Kirsty.

The cover also advertises a “Scorching 16-Page Bonus Mag Inside”, making this a particularly substantial issue from the mid-2000s Nuts era.

Real Girl of the Year 2005 Feature

The photographed contents pages confirm a large Real Girls UK / Real Girl of the Year section.

The feature is promoted as the magazine's search for the year's leading “girl next door”, with numerous contestants appearing throughout the issue.

One of the photographed spreads shows Siobhan from Cambridgeshire, age 19, identified as the Real Girl of the Year winner. The spread includes several photographs from her feature alongside interview-style text.

Other model-oriented sections listed in the magazine include:

• Real Girls UK – page 53
• Bedroom Babes – page 54
• Sex Secrets – page 56
• Real Girl of the Year 2005 – principal feature beginning around page 59
• Additional model and reader-feature photography throughout the magazine

The issue is therefore especially appealing to collectors of early/mid-2000s Nuts glamour magazines, particularly those collecting Kayleigh Pearson appearances or the magazine's Real Girls competitions.
