A MALIGNED model will attempt to scupper reports that she dislikes Teesside by making a larger-than-life appearance at a football match on Monday.
Wonderbra model Adriana Sklenarikova, wife of Middlesbrough player Christian Karembeu, hit the headlines after she was quoted criticising the local food and weather, will appear on a banner at Boro's derby match against Newcastle United on Monday.
Club bosses say the 40ft image of the blonde beauty, will show her solidarity with the supporters.
It should also help to boost Wonderbra sales, as Mrs Karembeu, the famous brand's official model, is pictured wearing a skimpy black version.
Boro have designated the match as a "flag night", and hope supporters will play their part by joining in with the party atmosphere.
Sadly for male fans, the 28-year-old Slovakian will not be among them due to a modelling assignment in France.
