Russian spy Anna Chapman reveals how she used her sex appeal to target men

RUSSIAN spy Anna Chapman has revealed how she used her sex appeal to target men.

She also tells how she got a hedge fund job in London after winning a game of strip poker.

In her autobiography, Chapman, 42, says she was recruited while living in the capital after splitting from her Brit hubby.

She writes: “I knew the effect I had on men.

Nature had generously endowed me with a slim waist, a full chest and a cascade of red hair.

“All I needed was to emphasise it – which I did with simple yet sexy outfits, light makeup, and an effortless air about me.

"I never wore jewellery – I didn’t feel the need for it.

“Most importantly, I didn’t try too hard to please.

“People can always sense when someone is desperate for approval, and it has the opposite effect.

“That’s what happens with overly dressed-up girls or overly chatty men. I never sought anyone’s approval – I simply was myself.

“And it worked like magic.”

“English lords and Arab sheikhs were kissing my hand flirtatiously, promising me a bright future.”

Chapman was arrested in New York in 2010 and returned to Russia in a prisoner exchange with Salisbury poisoning victim Sergei Skripal.
