Area native wraps mind around TV’s ‘Broken Skull Challenge’ – The Free Lance

Heather Hudson is the female version of Superman and his mild-mannered alter ego.

At least, that’s how former Washington Redskins wide receiver Gary Clark describes the Spotsylvania County woman, who was a star soccer player at Courtland High School and now plays for the Baltimore Charm all-women’s football team.

“Heather is very gentle and laid back off the field and this fiery take-charge person on the field,” Clark, a two-time Super Bowl winner who became head coach of the Charm in 2012, said in an email. “It’s like you see two different people. She’s our female version of Clark Kent and Superman.”

Expect to see Hudson’s Superman side when she appears on this coming Sunday’s episode of Steve Austin’s “Broken Skull Challenge,” which airs at 8 p.m. on CMT.

The pre-taped episode features Hudson, 23, and seven other female athletes competing in a series of challenges until all but one is eliminated. The last woman standing will try to complete the grueling “Skullbuster” obstacle course for a $10,000 prize, which Hudson says she plans to use to help relatives in the Philippines recover from last year’s tsunami, according to CMT.

Austin, an actor and former professional wrestler, is the show’s host.

Hudson, who can’t reveal whether she won or lost the competition, says she’s “always doing random things.”

That includes competing in the Legends Football League—formerly the Lingerie Football League—in a uniform that looks like a bikini with shoulder pads. Hudson said she tried out for the Baltimore Charm in 2012 after a friend watched a game on TV and told her, “You could do that.”

So why not take a stab at reality TV, too?

“I’ve always been a competitive person so I just thought, ‘Oh what the heck, it doesn’t hurt to try and audition,’” said Hudson, who played varsity soccer for Courtland from 2005–09.

She seems comfortable in front of a camera.

A clip of the upcoming Broken Skull Challenge episode shows her talking trash about an older opponent. The two were about to face off in a game called “Snatch,” in which the first to grab a sandbag in the middle of a so-called “battlefield” and ring a bell is declared the winner.

“I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna snatch that bag, I’m gonna ring that bell and send that old lady home!” Hudson, doing her best imitation of a professional wrestler, says in the clip.

Her opponent also has some choice words: “Heather, this ain’t no football field. You’re too young to know what old-school tough is.”

In keeping with the trash-talk theme, Clark—who played for the Redskins from 1985 until 1992—says Hudson’s opponents on the show don’t stand a chance. In fact, his prediction is that she “straight up kills it.”

“She is an athletic freak and will dominate” he wrote. “I could be wrong but who am I kidding I’m hardly ever wrong when it comes to judging talent.”

Spotsylvania resident Matt Cruz, an instructor at Cudgel Crossfit in Stafford County, said he started working out with Hudson two years ago. Hudson, who is becoming a certified Crossfit instructor herself, is a natural fit for the Broken Skull Challenge, he said.

“That’s the kind of stuff that she really enjoys doing,” Cruz said. “She enjoys having a few bruises to show off.”

Hudson, who is just 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 125 pounds, says she can bench press more than her weight and can squat a little more than 200 pounds. The self-described adrenaline junkie said it was exciting, not intimidating, to compete in front of a former pro wrestling champ whose nickname is “Stone Cold.”

“That whole experience was just surreal,” Hudson said. “It was cool just to see where I placed among . . .handpicked women that are really athletic.”

Ultimo’s latest lingerie campaign starring Abbey Clancy has been unveiled and the shots are expectedly sultry.

While most of us have been basking in the summer heat, the Liverpudlian model is getting ready for cooler climes as she showcases the new autumn/winter collection.

The mother-of-one, 28, shows off her slender physique in a series of dark underwear, with lots of animal-print to liven up cold winter nights.

Talking about the latest designs, Michelle Mone OBE, founder of Ultimo, said: ‘The new Ultimo collection for autumn winter is all about the “wow”
factor. Our classic bras have been updated with the seasonís most
stylish prints and shades, presenting seriously sumptuous lingerie for
women who want to look and feel fabulous.’

Abbey said: ‘For me, great lingerie is
an essential part of any outfit, and often I’ll pick my underwear before
I decide what to wear.

‘I’ve
totally fallen in love with the new Ultimo collection. It looks and
feels incredibly premium, and the fit is unbelievable.’

Abbey’s latest collection comes amidst recent reports of issues between Abbey and Michelle after the model posed in lingerie for brands Veet and Scholl.

Reports
back in May said the situation had become tense, dubbing it’ bra wars’,
but at the time Michelle tweeted: ‘Unfortunately we had exclusivity
issue with Abbey’s mgmt, she’s a great girl. We look forward to
releasing her last campaign.’

However, the release of these latest shots, confirm Abbey is still the face of the brand and is revelling in being the face and body of Ultimo.

Those pictures are awful. The velvet couch is strange, in fact the whole setting is weird. And the photographer did not make any effort to bring out the best in his model. I’ve seen pictures of Abbey Clancy modelling underwear and she looked a lot better and not so dead like in these pictures.

Sensationally photoshopped, more like. There is nothing special about this famegrabber except her passion for the limelight.

I can’s see past Ultimo, they always fit me a like a glove and I just adore every piece. Just bought five sets and I can’t wait for them to arrive. I think Abbey looks absolutely beautiful and it just goes to show there are a lot of jealous people out there who like to put good people down for no reason. It’s sad. Good news is, my new Ultimo purchases are on their way. Woop!
