Soccerette Nikki

Introducing the first 21st century fox for the new Soccer AM season Nikki Cowell! Who is no relation to X-Factor judge Simon, as you can probably tell. The 23-year-old is an avid Liverpool supporter.

Her pegs have won her the title of Miss Lovely Legs! No more proof needed. At 5ft 11” she struggles to find a boyfriend, which we find hard to believe. In the ”show us your tekkers” part of the show, the multi-talented Nikki plays the piano. She’s no Elton John but can certainly tickle those ivories with style. It’s that time where we get to see what lies beneath the football shirt yes, it’s the new Soccer AM t-shirt! ”Unbelievable Tekkers!”.

It’s time to take a look at the pictures Nikki sent into the show…

Michelle Caroline Larcher de Brito, born Micaela Carolina Larcher de Brito, also known as Michelle Larcher de Brito or Michelle Brito (born 29 January 1993 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese tennis player. Larcher de Brito’s family moved to the United States when she was nine years old so she could attend the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida. She was coached by Nick Bollettieri until the end of 2007. Currently she is training full time with her father, António Larcher de Brito. She achieved a career-high ranking of 76 on July 6, 2009.

She is the first Portuguese female player to enter the main draw of a grand slam, which occurred at the 2009 French Open. Her impressive results at such a young age have prompted Nick Bollettieri to tip her as a possible Top 10 player. She is known for her loud grunts while executing shots, being noted for surpassing in decibels the likes of Maria Sharapova, Monica Seles, Victoria Azarenka and Venus and Serena Williams, other famous “grunters”.In response to criticism from fellow players about this, she defended herself by saying, “I could (stop grunting), but, you know, it won’t feel natural, because it feels like something is missing in my game if I just stop.”

The reigning queen of endorsements is showing no signs of slowing down. While the preternaturally youthful Louise Redknapp’s latest venture is for Wrigley’s Extra Gum, we’re convinced she was able to do double duty and sneak in a Carlsberg spritzer, too.

For us, it’s a toss up: some of Louise’s product pushes seem too try hard, but at the same time, we’re still open to hearing her appeals (since her husband is hot and their seemingly perfect marriage makes her one of the more endearing WAGs.)

What are your thoughts, Kickettes? Should we let bygones be bygones and support lovable Louise’s endorsements – a gal’s gotta eat, after all – or should we encourage her to let go of her spotlight love?
