A HEREFORD woman who bared all for charity has been forced to cover up after getting swine flu.

Dee Montague, aged 25, is making a good recovery after catching the virus last week.

Dee was one of the Preston-on-Wye calendar girls who raised £11,500 for the Heart Transplant Fund in 2007.

The group was inspired by her fundraising father, Billy, who received a transplant at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Miss Montague said she felt “extremely exhausted”, but better thanks to Tamiflu and rest.

“My throat killed and I had a headache that wouldn’t go away – but the worst thing was not being able to see my dad, in case I infected him,” she said.
