Howard Lake | 10 January 2004 | News
Edeltraud Linkesch has been suspended by children’s charity Caritas for appearing in a nude fundraising calendar that raised £14,000 for children with cancer.
Linkesch appeared as Miss October in the calendar. According to Ananova.com, Caritas suspended her for “tasteless” behaviour that could damage its “serious reputation.”
An unrepentent Ms Linkesch was pleased with the money raised by the calendar and said she would do it again any time.
