Supermodel Kathy Ireland has added a new talent to her portfolio: burping.

A celebrity judge at this year's Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Ms Ireland was challenged by pageant host Dena Blizzard to reveal an interesting fact about herself that no one knows.

Ms Ireland claimed she could "burp the alphabet". Ms Blizzard, a former Miss New Jersey and now a stand-up comedian, challenged Ireland to do it on-stage.

The supermodel admitted she really cannot burp the alphabet, but she did let out a loud belch on command from the stage during the second night of preliminary competition.
