London, November 8 Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge has slipped out of her uniform to pose for the camera in saucy underwear after being crowned as the new Miss England.

The 22-year-old replaced former winner Rachel Christie after she stepped down following her arrest over an alleged fight in a nightclub.

Hodge, nicknamed Combat Barbie when she won a bravery award for disarming an Iraqi rebel, inked a deal with lingerie giant La Senza's campaign to give 15 per cent discount to our Armed Forces.

"She's an inspiration," News of the World quoted Marketing director Lisa Bond as saying.

Hodge is due to represent the country in the Miss World Final in Johannesburg, South Africa, on December 12. (ANI)
