Brit female soldier 'Combat Barbie' advertises Armed Forces lingerie deal

London, September 7 (ANI): A British female soldier has been selected to promote a lingerie chain's discount offer to members of the Armed Forces.

Katrina Hodge, nicknamed "Combat Barbie" by her Royal Anglian Regiment colleagues, is helping to promote La Senza's offer of a 15 per cent off to servicemen and women.

"I am enjoying the attention and profile but my job is still as an army soldier. I love the army life and if this encourages more women to join up then that would be brilliant," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

"I'm so proud of this campaign and I really hope that it encourages other high street stores to offer discounts to men and women in the armed forces," she added.

Hodge, 22, came second in this year's Miss England contest, and served in Iraq, where she was recognised for her bravery. (ANI)
