Playboy shootout role for Dublin model

A DUBLIN girl is set to appear in a new Playboy-linked reality television show.

The 24-year-old from Tallaght has been promised a place as one of Hugh Hefner’s girls in the new American show called Playboy Shootout.

Luiza Hogan landed the position which will go out on air on the E! Entertainment channel next year.

Having modelled since she was 17 years of age, Ms Hogan was also briefly in an Irish girl band called Dvine.

The five-member group split up though when she decided to move to Los Angeles two and a half years ago.

Her Irish agency, Bscene, yesterday confirmed Ms Hogan had been promised a place on the second season of the television show which will see models and photographers competing for the top prize of a centrefold shoot at Playboy’s famed Studio West.

The Kilnamanagh model is presently at home holidaying with her family in Shannon this weekend before returning to Los Angeles.

The former Miss Ireland contestant will compete with another nine models for the Playboy show, which will be broadcast next year.
