This is the topless model that actor Sean Bean defended in a bar brawl which resulted in the star getting stabbed.

Bean, 52, was smoking with friend April Summers, 23, outside a pub when a fellow drinker made a sexist remark about the lads’ mag favourite.
The Game of Thrones star challenged the man and was stabbed, possibly with a broken bottle, and punched in the face.
Italian model April is a favourite with the readers of Zoo and also presented two infomercials for Sky TV to advertise a dating network.
In 2010, April was crowned a Playmate for Playboy magazine and she appeared in a 12-page spread, including the centrefold, in the gold issue of Playboy France. Three months later she was named Playboy Playmate for the first ever limited edition of Playboy Italy.
In 2011, she was the first "Next Top Model" discovery named by Nuts magazine and was also voted second in a poll for Zoo magazine as the top model to look for this year.
In an interview with Hidden Treasure magazine April spoke about how it was difficult to find a boyfriend because men were often intimidated by her.
She said: "It’s difficult to strike up a romance-friendship when they are [so] shy.” Well she can be my friend any day. The sexier the better. And if we became close friends and had a disagreement no gift is necessary for forgiveness. “Honesty would be the best gift as it shows you care and regret what you had done.”
Hardman Bean carried on drinking after the attack, after bar staff treated the nasty gash.
April, whose real name is Nadia Foster, was unhurt.
A worker at the pub, the Hill Bar and Brasserie in Camden, North London, told the Mirror: “It seemed to have been a scuffle over a girl after another guy made some unpleasant comments.
“Sean’s been in here many times and always seems really friendly and polite, a really nice bloke.
“But he was obviously pretty angry about whatever the other drinker had said about his friend – she was a really good looking girl, very pretty, so it might have been a bit of a sexist remark.
“It was all over and done with pretty quickly and Sean came back into the bar for a while with his friend. He looked like he had a gash on his arm, which one of the girls who works here had a look at for him, but he wanted to finish his drink.”
Yesterday Molly, 19, one of Sean’s three children, said: “Dad’s just resting at home at the moment. Fortunately it wasn’t too serious. He’ll be fine.” The four-times-divorced Lord of the Rings star met April through mutual friends. It is not known if they are dating.
Bean, who shared steamy sex scenes with Joely Richardson in the BBC’s production of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, said recently: “I like a good drink like the next man. But I feel a bit queasy about attending premieres. I’m not that social type.”
Last night Bean’s agent said the actor was fine. Police attended the bar but are taking no further action.
