THESE are the pictures that will warm the hearts of even Makosi Musambasi's most ardent critics -- as she models for a TV advert for Zimbabwean online grocery shop, Zimland.com.

The sultry 25-year-old Zimbabwean Big Brother star looked radiant as she turned up for the TV shoot in Surrey, just outside London, as our exclusive snaps show.

An onlooker said: "She was a totally different character to the Makosi we saw on Big Brother.

"She could have been any office professional just going home after a hard day's work."

In the advert which is showing on British television, Makosi plays a professional working mum and goes on the phone to tell a friend about her recent discovery -- Zimland.com, Zimbabwe's biggest online grocery store.

Makosi, hated and adored in equal measure, recently opened up to a British tabloid newspaper about her vice girl shame, revealing that she had worked as a £1500-a-night hooker.

The former cardiac nurse who was struck off the register because she had unprotected sex on Big Brother was forced to admit to degrading three-in-bed sex romps with an unnamed TV presenter in exchange for money.

On two occasions, the 25-year-old Zimbabwean was paid £1 500 after having kinky sex with the presenter and another girl.

However, turning up for the advert shoot last week, Makosi appeared intent on putting it back together -- her life, that is.

Never Ndemera, the Zimland.com director said: "Makosi is one of our more eminent Zimbabweans in the UK. The choice was between paying a British model to do it and giving the money to our own, and that's why we settled for Makosi.

"She was a joy to work with, and I hope Zimbabweans will try and understand her more and give her support. She is a lovely girl and I believe she deserves more support than we have given her so far."

Makosi's advert is already showing on OBE TV and will soon be available from the Zimland website at: www.zimland.com
