Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli was on Friday named as the co-host of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, despite a looming indictment against her for tax offenses involving tens of millions of shekels, the Times of Israel said.

Axar.az reports citing Times of Israel.

Refaeli will host the May extravaganza alongside longtime television host Erez Tal, with Assi Azar and Lucy Ayoub broadcasting from the backstage area.

Gal Gadot was reportedly initially offered the hosting gig but was said to have turned it down due to scheduling problems.

Rafaeli’s lawyer has categorically denied any wrongdoing on her client’s part and said the supermodel’s defense team was optimistic that a judge would throw out the case.

Israel won the right to host the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest by winning the 2018 edition, with singer Netta Barzilai’s “Toy.”
