Angel gets her wings: Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes is heading to outer space

Victoria's Secret angels may always look out of this world, but in the case of Doutzen Kroes, she is literally on her way to the stars.

The supermodel will board the first Dutch commercial flight to space in 2014 as part of a charity initiative.

Working for the HIV and AIDS awareness group dance4life, Kroes will join 14 other passengers including DJ Armin van Buuren and Martin Schroder on the trip - with an extra ticket available to buy at auction.

'But apparently nothing is as beautiful as the view of the earth from space. Astronauts who have been lucky enough to have had that experience say it is life changing.

'I cannot wait to go, and I am also proud that SXC has made one extra ticket available for dance4life.'
