Kerre Woodham: Model lets gossips have it

Good on Megan Gale for confronting two gossiping minxes who were tearing apart her looks while she was seated next to them in a cafe.

The stunning Australian model, who owes her sultry good looks to a part-Maori mum, was recently named as one of the most beautiful people in the world by Who magazine.

She was in her civvies last weekend - makeup off, baseball cap on, head down - when she couldn't help but overhear the scathing dissection of her looks. She raised her head, introduced herself and told the girls they needed to be more careful about what they were saying, because they never knew who might be listening.

She accepts that she's not everyone's cup of tea but says if she's being abused, verbally or physically , she'll stand up for herself. I like it.
