The beleaguered Kate Moss - ditched by Chanel, H&M and even chav favourites Burberry for her alleged cocaine abuse - has been tossed a lifeline by the online gaming site Nine.com.

The firm has offered her a cool $5 million deal, on the proviso she cleans up her act.

Nine.com spokesman Jack Abrams said: ‘The industry she works in is well aware of the pressures top models are put under to maintain their body image, and when the crap hit the fan, she was dumped.’

But is this a serious offer or a clever publicity stunt?
