Thorpe surprises hopeful models
HIS fashion splashes are almost as famous as his achievements in the pool
So it's no surprise Foxtel recruit Ian Thorpe made a star turn as a surprise judge on Australia's Next Top Model.
Gasps were heard from the bevy of beauties who discovered him on the judging panel alongside Alex Perry, Charlotte Dawson and Jez Smith during the weekend filming of the catwalk contest.
It is understood the preened and buffed fashion plate "had a fantastic time" working on the show, lending his extensive advertising and sponsorship experience to the "know your product" theme of the episode.
Thorpe's manager Dave Flaskis yesterday confirmed an announcement regarding Thorpe's big project with the network would be made over the next two weeks.
