Naked Attraction beauty Chrissie Wunna has revealed she was “gutted” after turning down Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey – only for it to become a box office hit.
The horror flick was released last year and shocked viewers nationwide for its gruesome take on the classic children’s book. It followed Pooh Bear and his trusty pal Piglet who turned into rabid beasts after Christopher Robin left them.
And when Christopher decided to return to the Hundred Acre Wood with pals, things quickly started to go awry. The beloved children’s characters then embarked on a murderous rampage.

The film, created by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, had people talking all over the globe and became a box office smash. Made for less than £80,000, it ended up grossing over £4 million.

Due to the success, it didn’t take long to have a sequel green-lit. The film, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, is set to be released in cinemas in February.
And one star appearing in the sequel is Chrissie – who shot to fame on series 11 of Naked Attraction. But apparently the actress and glamour model could have appeared in the first film but she had to turn it down – leaving her “gutted” after it “blew up.”

Talking about Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, Chrissie exclusively told Daily Star: “The first one went absolutely viral. The producers had asked me to be in the first one but I couldn’t because of scheduling because I was away filming with MTV.”
The Leeds lass added: “I was really gutted because I didn’t say yes to the job. Then the film blew up! And I had to watch the thing.

“I even said to Scott [Jeffrey], the producer: ‘I’m so jealous I can’t even believe this is happening but I am so happy for you!’”
Luckily for Chrissie, the producers had her in mind when it came to casting for the second instalment. She said: “So when the sequel came up they were like ‘would you mind being in it?’ And I was like ‘Yes! Sign me up I don’t care I’m doing it.”

Chrissie is playing a nurse in the horror sequel which is set to go to cinema worldwide, according to Chrissie. And it’s even having its premiere in LA – something she thinks is “insane.” She laughed: “As if Naked Attraction would turn someone into some movie star?”
It’s fair to say Chrissie had a memorable stint on Naked Attraction – from talking about her love of “really big” penises to her date ending in a bit of a disaster. And since the episode aired, Chrissie has gone from strength to strength.
