A BRITISH model who flew to Cape Town earlier this week to promote the plight of thousands of penguins struck by an oil spill off the Cape coast is having something of an identity crisis. The saga began when the International Fund for Animal Welfare announced Alex Gain, winner of the Sun newspaper’s Babe of the Year competition, would come out to back the penguin rehabilitation project. The tabloid’s Babe of the Year title goes to its readers’ favourite topless model, which appears daily on page 3 of the paper. The next day journalists were introduced to a leggy blonde who gave her name as Felicity Gain and declared: “I’m not a page 3 girl and I will never be a page 3 girl.” IFAW were at odds to explain the discrepancy, muttering only that they must have got it wrong. Gain’s agent Alon Shulman did nothing to clarify the situation, saying only that she didn’t do any “glamour work”. But then an enterprising reporter for the Cape Times went and did some homework and, surprise, surprise, found a topless picture of Alex Gain who looked remarkably like Felicity on the Internet. The paper caught up with Gain at her hotel as she was about to return home and asked her if she was also known as Alex. “Well, sometimes I model under the name Alex,” she replied. And did she appear as topless covergirl? “Well, yes. But now I’m Felicity and I do television ads,” she said.
