Although she may be less exposed than her fans are used to viewing her, Playboy cover girl Joanna Krupa is attracting a whole new group of admirers as she twirls her way around the dance floor as a contestant on this season’s reality show, Dancing With The Stars.

But not only is Joanna appearing on our television screens on a weekly basis, where she has teamed up with pro partner Derek Hough, but she is also due to grace December’s cover of Playboy magazine along with chat show host Chelsea Handler.

The experience of appearing on the cover of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine is not a first for the beautiful Polish born 30 year old. Joanna first gained the attention Mr Hefner back in 2005 when she was seen on the newsstands as the Playboy model for the July issue of Playboy magazine that year.

Revealing the inspiration behind her shoot for this December’s Playboy magazine cover Joanna told ET, “You can never replicate things that Brigitte Bardot has done, but she’s such a role model to me, so I kind of wanted to go into that kind of look.‘ The supermodel went on to tell ET, the shoot which took place in London, “was an amazing experience; I’m over-the-moon excited about it. I definitely feel like my body has been in better shape now than it has been before. I think right now is probably the best I’ve ever been. My fiancé’s seen the photos, He’s happy about it; I won’t lie - in the beginning when I told him I was going to do the photo shoot he wasn’t thrilled about it, but he knows that I’m in the modeling business and he’s very supportive.”
