Former reality celeb Kate Gosselin modeled in a runway show Wednesday benefiting Bottomless Closet, a New York based charity.

Designer Derek Warburton extended an invitation to the ‘Kate Plus 8’ mom to participate in his Real Fashion, Real Women event at the Empire Hotel as part of NY Fashion Week.

He admits he took a great deal of heat on Twitter after announcing that the mother-of-eight would be walking in his show. He responded, “Listen, we are not paying her. She is doing this out of the goodness of her heart.”

Despite what others may think, Warburton is clearly smitten with the former DWTS celebrity who failed to impress the judges with her moves.
