Burlesque dancer Katrina Darling hasn’t yet accepted the offer from Hugh Hefner’s magazine but is said to be tempted and is currently considering her options.

A source close to the 21-year-old dancer told Now magazine: “Katrina’s enjoyed some success in the US following her burlesque performances and now she’s attracted the attention of Playboy. She hasn’t agreed to do it yet, but it’d be hugely embarrassing for Kate.”

Katrina – who is a distant relative of the British royal and her sister Pippa Middleton – recently quit her job in banking to become a burlesque dancer full-time.

Having performed in the US in March, she also lined up a performance at Whiskey Mist – a nightclub frequented by Catherine’s brother-in-law Prince Harry – last month.

She danced to the Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen while wearing a crown, in a tongue in cheek reference to her royal connections.
