The blonde bombshell, 43, was a huge fans favourite during the early 2000s.

And now she will have a permanent place in WWE folklore when she receives her place in the Hall of Fame before this weekend’s WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles.
Keibler got emotional when she got the call from a WWE representative earlier in March.
The Maryland beauty was at home in the kitchen as she took in the unexpected news.
An emotional Keibler told People: “I never thought I would be in the Hall of Fame, to be honest.
“I was completely shocked when I got the call. I had tears in my eyes.
“When she told me, I screamed, and tears were in my eyes, and I was completely overwhelmed with just gratefulness.
“The fans are the ones that made it possible. I owe so much to them for getting me to this point in my career.
“My husband’s coming, my husband’s family’s coming, my family, my kids.

“We have friends coming from LA, from Austin. So it’s really exciting because a lot of these people didn’t get to see me in action.
“I get tears in my eyes every time. How am I going to keep it together? I got to keep it together.”
Keibler started out as a model and dancer and joined the Baltimore Ravens as a cheerleader aged 18 before winning the 1999 Nitro Girl Search competition.
That earned her the break she needed for wrestling and was kept on when World Championship Wrestling was bought out by WWE in 2001, debuting on TV at SmackDown and going on to be Vince McMahon’s on-screen mistress.
2004 Babe of the Year Keibler left WWE in 2006 – as both a hero and a heel amid her various feuds – but has returned for various guest appearances over the years.
‘FULL-TIME JOB’
Away from wrestling, she has done modelling, dancing and acting.
Keibler dated George Clooney for two years before settling down with Jared Pobre.
The couple tied the knot at their Mexico wedding in 2014 and have two daughters and a son together.
Keibler added: “I’ve entered into another chapter of being a mum, and anyone with three kids knows that that’s a juggling act, and it’s my full-time job.
“So I have taken a step back to focus on putting my heart and soul into that.
“Now because I’ve been a performer since the age of seven, of course, it’s also in my heart, but it’s just something that I’ve kind of taken a backseat to that, focusing on something else.”
WWE confirmed Rey Mysterio, The Great Muta and late comedian Andy Kaufman will also be part of the 2023 Hall of Fame class.
