SHE'S normally spotted on Gary Lineker's arm or in her underwear on the pages of a glossy magazine.
But Danielle Bux, now Mrs Lineker, paid a visit to her old school last night to help present the school's annual awards.
Louis Vuitton Belts Handbags ReplicaThe model and TV personality arrived fashionably late to Cantonian High in Cardiff, dressed in a sleek black and white dress and black Christian Louboutin shoes.
And although she was nervous about presenting the awards, she admitted she was most scared about her timing.
"I was afraid I might get a late report," she said.
"I come to Fairwater a lot so I often drive past the school, but it's a privilege to be asked back.
"I have so many happy memories of this place."
The pupils were also very excited about Danielle's visit, especially head girl Danielle Taylor, from Fairwater, and 17-year-old Matthew Coakley, from Caerau.
"It was great to see her but also quite nerve-wracking as we had to shake her hand and give her flowers," said 18-year-old Danielle.
"She's a role model to a lot of people and it's great to see someone from our background doing so well for themselves.
"I'd like to follow in her footsteps in the modelling, and Matthew would like to be on Hell's Kitchen like her."
Year 13 pupil Matthew added: "Some people will be wishing they'd worked harder this year so they'd been able to receive an award from her.

After presenting some of the awards, Danielle gave a short speech to the pupils, parents and teachers in the hall.
She said: "I've done some amazing things in the last couple of years - been the face of La Senza, Hell's Kitchen, married some bloke who sells crisps - but I never thought I'd be invited back to my old school. It's a huge honour and I'm delighted to be here.
"I have so many funny memories of my time here - one when I was late and my teacher got frustrated and said, 'Find a seat you demented donkey.' "It was here I had my first cooking lesson. I bet my teachers never thought they'd see me cooking on the television.
"I wish you all the best, though it's clear from the amount of prizes you've achieved that you're all working really hard."
Speaking about her former pupil, head of religious education, Ms Sueref, said Danielle was a pleasure to teach and very enthusiastic and bright.
She added: "She always wanted to be a model and was very keen to make something of herself.

"I always knew she'd make it big as she was particularly motivated and determined.
"It's great to have her back and to see where she is now - she really deserves it."
