A BEAUTIFUL TV presenter has told how sheâs given up showbiz to become a full-time carer for terminally ill patients.
Cathy Zimmermann, 31, stripped off for Playboy magazine this week as she explained how sheâll bring a smile to the faces of patients facing their final days in a Vienna hospice.
The Austrian star, who appeared in a local version of Strictly Come Dancing, told how she had a change of heart after helping to nurse her mother through a major operation.
She said: âAfter my mother was taken for an emergency operation last year something changed in me.
âNow I try to separate myself from everything which makes me feel bad.
âWhether thatâs the wrong friends, relationships, jobs, whatever. I donât want anything to stop me. That would be a waste of life.â
Cathy says she trained with the Catholic Caritas health organisation and now volunteers at hospices in the Austrian capital.
An official said: âAs a palliative care assistant she sits next to people during their last days offering them support and listening to their last wishes. Maybe holding their hands and just listening or talking.â
Cathy also told Playboy what she admires most in other womenâs bodies, saying: âI like women to have a bottom which sticks out a little bit, nice and round and hard.â
