Isn't she absolutely beautiful? Doesn't she look like a lovely girl in 17? It's official: 31 y.o. Kirsty Hume joins Marks & Spencer dream team, which already includes Laura Bailey, Erin O'Connor, Elizabeth Jagger, Noemie Lenoir, and Twiggy.

The team of Marks & Spencer, an international retail giant, have starred in a series of high profile TV and newspaper ads to revive the ailing fortunes of the store.

Kirtsty Hume's agent said: "Kirsty is absolutely delighted to join their team as she grew up with M&S. She travelled to Majorca for the fashion shoot. She's very excited about the clothes and hopes everyone will love them as much as she does."

Kirsty, originally from Scotland, shot to fame as a 17-year-old schoolgirl after a top model agency spotted her potential. The supermodel now lives on a farm in Woodstock, New York, with actor husband Donovan Leitch - son of 60s pop star Donovan - and two-year-old daughter Violet Jean. Kirsty is hoped to be another major coup for Marks & Spencer.

Kirsty went on to become one of the most sought-after catwalk models in the world, earning more than £3.5million a year - even more than Kate Moss.
