The 21-year-old jetted into the Mighty Whites' home city to promote her debut single I Love Dancing in Espana.

Claudia is being promoted in the UK by Leeds business consultant Keith Madeley.

Keith, who is also the Chairman of the Yorkshire Society, thought there was no better place to launch her new song in the North of England than the hallow turf of his favourite team.

And football fan Claudia, who also acts, couldn't resist a kickabout on the freshly mown pitch ahead of Leeds's first home game of the season against Oldham Athletic on Saturday.

She said: "Back in Germany I follow Bayern Munich but here in England I know Leeds United are a very, very big club.

"I've been inside a few football stadiums back home through my modelling but I love the colours here at Elland Road.

"It's my first time in Leeds and I really love it. The British are so polite and friendly. I also love your pubs. We don't have anything like them back home."

I Love Dancing... was written by Gordon Lornz who has worked among others with Charlotte Church, Shirley Bassey, Atomic KItten and Cliff Richard.

Liverpudlian Gordon, who now lives in Llandudno in north Wales, first found fame after his song There's No-one Quite Like Grandma was the Christmas Number One back in 1980.
