That's how to make a comeback! WAG Sylvie Van Der Vaart returns to the catwalk for lingerie show three years after battling breast cancer

is not unusual to see a WAG posing happily in her underwear.
But this statuesque blonde has more reason to smile than most, as just three years ago she was battling cancer after finding a lump in her breast.
Walking for lingerie brand Hunkemolle at Berlin's fashion week last night Dutch model Sylvie Van Der Vart made a sensational comeback as she posed in a black feathered underwear set studded with diamonds.

Later she closed the show in a dramatic peach lace gown and corset top to huge cheers from the audience, especially husband - and Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Haart - who planted a huge kiss on the 34-year-old in front of delighted photographers on the red carpet.

 

After finding a lump in her breast in 2009, model and TV presenter Sylvie underwent surgery and a gruelling six months of post-operation chemotherapy which saw her lose her famous blonde locks.
After having her head shaved, the mother-of-one wore wigs until husband Rafael persuaded her to go natural while appearing on the German version of Let's Dance.

Speaking previously about her cancer diagnosis, Sylvie said: 'All the luxuries in the world are no protection against that moment when you are told the diagnosis. Then you are just a woman.
'For me, it was as if a bomb had gone off under our lives. Whether you are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, young or old, cancer knows no boundaries.'
Since declaring herself cancer-free and moving to the UK, the glamorous blonde has bounced back and is making the most of her life a one of the 'new Beckhams' with husband Rafael.
The Dutch couple jetted to St Tropez as soon as the Holland team crashed out of the Euro 2012 football championship, and Sylvie loves showing off her glamorous lifestyle to her 64,000 Twitter followers - often posting pictures of photo shoots, private jets, lunches and parties that she attends.
