Collett attended Myton School in Warwick.{{cite web|url=http://www.warwickcourier.co.uk/news/local/warwick_model_cruises_to_page_three_girl_victory_1_3354415 |title=Warwick model cruises to page three girl victory|newspaper=Warwick Courier|date=24 December 2011|accessdate=17 June 2013}} She began her modeling career at age 17 as a hair model for Toni & Guy salons. At this time, she began dyeing her naturally brown hair blond and, later, her signature red colour. In December 2011, at the age of 22, she was declared the winner of The Sun{{'}}s Page 3 Idol 2012 competition and became a Page 3 girl.{{Cite web|url=https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/warwick-girl-wins-page-3-3033331|title = Warwick girl wins Page 3 modelling competition|date = 27 December 2011}}
FHM called her part of a "welcome new trend for curvaceous womanliness." Collett has always tried to "send out the message that you don't have to be a size six to be a model" and that she wants to promote a healthy body image for girls and women.
Collett has presented Nuts magazine's web series of games news and reviews, "Girl Got Game",[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DgUlNiLe4w "Girl Got Game – Episode 18"], YouTube, 15 May 2013 and, in March 2015, she began presenting ZOO magazine's web series "Game On".[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhn3-mJ2ACM "ZOO's Game On With Lucy Collett: Episode 1 – Wolfenstein & Batman"], 13 March 2015 In February 2015, she presented a one-off video feature with Talksport.MacArthur, Scott (10 February 2015) [http://talkingbaws.com/2015/02/video-page-3-model-in-arsenal-top-offers-tottenham-fans-to-get-naked-if-they-swap-shirts-with-her/ "VIDEO: Page 3 Model In Arsenal Top Offers Tottenham Fans To Get Naked If They Swap Shirts With Her"]
