Sinead OConnor
From walking out on her marriage to Barry Herridge after 16 days to threatening to kill the pope to announcing her sexual preferences in explicit detail, Sinead O'Connor has never been known as a shrinking violet sineadblog

Former feminist icon Sinead O'Connor has again shocked fans after revealing she wants to pose nude in a men's magazine.

The outspoken Nothing Compares 2U singer told Word magazine that she wanted to pose for Playboy.

"There's so much I [would have] liked to do when I was younger and I was too miserable and Irish. A Playboy shoot is on my bucket list," she said.

She added that she would do a racy interview about "something really serious" for the magazine whilst wearing some "weird sex gear".

O'Connor insisted: "You can talk about serious issues while you're b*****k naked, on all fours, in your dog collar."
