Ananova:

A corporal nicknamed 'Combat Barbie' by her colleagues is to launch a new campaign offering discount lingerie to servicemen and women.

Katrina Hodge, of the Royal Anglian Regiment, is helping publicise La Senza's offer of a 15% discount to members of the Armed Forces.

The 22-year-old, who came second in this year's Miss England contest, has served in Iraq where she was recognised for her bravery.

She said: "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.

"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."
