PARIS FASHION WEEK DRAMA
Model punches topless protester
SHOCK: Supermodel Hollie-May Saker first hears screaming behind her on the runway.
HORROR: A protester grabs her arm. The model pulls it back forcefully and punches her nose.
NABBED: A security officer drags the protesters off the runway.
SHE was doing the catwalk at the Paris Fashion Week on Thursday when two half-naked women interrupted the show.
The protesters were from Ukrainian feminist group Femen and had words including "Model don't go to brothel" written on their bodies.
English supermodel Hollie-May Saker, 18, who has been tipped to be the next Kate Moss, didn't take to the protesters kindly.
She punched one of them when they barged into the show, the Liverpool Echo newspaper reported.
Saker said it was one of the biggest shocks of her life and she could do nothing but fight back against the woman who grabbed her.
She said: "I punched her - I didn't mean to but she grabbed my arm and I just wanted to get her off me.
"I was the 19th girl out of the catwalk and I could hear screaming behind me. The next thing I just saw half-naked women with black marker pen scrawled across their bare chests and that's when she came at me.
"As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt, exposing me - I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose."
Saker, who has been modelling since 16, said she was angry but knew she had to be professional and carried on walking with a "bit of sassiness".
She said she wanted to push them both off the stage because they ruined her favourite show.
"I had been looking forward to the Nina Ricci show for so long, whether I was modelling in it or not, it's such a beautiful collection.
"I was really worried to come back stage but nobody said anything - I felt bad the moment it happened and I was very shaken up by it."
