The cat’s officially out of the bag!

Despite being leaked last Friday, Kate Upton has confirmed that she’s the cover girl of the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue for the second year in a row. But she’s not hiding the fact that getting the perfect shot wasn’t easy.

Twenty-year-old Upton told reporters on the TODAY show that she suffered from frostbite during the shoot in Antarctica. ”It was freezing!” the Florida native said during an interview. ”It wasn’t great for me . . .I can’t believe we were able to accomplish that.”

“When I came back, I [temporarily lost my] hearing and eyesight,” she said, “Because my body was shutting down — working so hard to keep me warm.”

Yeah, yeah. Frostbite for a bazillion dollars? I’d suffer through it, too.
