Caprice made sure to tie a hairband around her left wrist, should her tresses get in the way of her game.

The doting mother also brought a white sweater along to her session, which she tied around her waist.

Her sons Jett and Jax, both eight, both wore shorts and T-shirts.

Last week Caprice was in a reflective mood as she shared a slew of throwback snaps from the 1998 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition launch party.

The model shared a gallery of images from the party that saw her rub shoulders with stars including Heidi Klum and Rebecca Romijn, admitting she’ll ‘never forget’ the moment she was told she’d booked the prestigious shoot.

Penning a lengthy post, Caprice said that landing that job was the springboard for her success, and through hard work and determination has since carved herself out a career as a thriving businesswoman.

In the snaps, Caprice sported a skintight brown dress as she posed at the launch party alongside a slew of other Sports Illustrated stars.

Among them was a fresh-faced Heidi, 47, who sported a beautiful gold snakeskin dress, as well as Louise Forsling and Eva Herzigova, who was clad in a beautiful white sequinned dress.

At the party Caprice also posed with actress Rebecca Romijn, and even rubbed shoulders with the Motley Crue hitmakers Don Johnson, Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx.

In the caption Caprice reflected on the moment she was told she’d landed a spread in Sports Illustrated, as at the time it was the holy grail of modelling jobs.

The Dancing on Ice star said the cover kicked off her hugely successful modelling career, and she has since found yet more fortune as a hard-working businesswoman.

Insisting that hard work does pay off, and encouraging her fans to stick to their goals, Caprice wrote: ‘Holy smokes Heidi Klume, Eva Herzigova, Rebecca Romijn, and Daniella Pestova and little me!!!!

Wow: Caprice moved up and down the court with ease and was watched by her tennis trainer who stood on the sidelines
