Kate Upton is back in the Victoria's Secret catalogue after being criticized as 'too obvious' to hit the catwalk for the lingerie brand

The gorgeous model has posed for the back cover of a recent Victoria's Secret catalogue, more than a year after a casting director for the company's catwalk shows said that she 'would never use her,' the New York daily News reported.

Sophia Neophitou, who selects models for the annual show, told the New York Times last February that the 20-yer-old is like a Page 3 girl.

"She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy," she said.

But it seems that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model doesn't hold grudges and has forgiven the brand for the comments.
