A Millionaire model and former Miss World candidate is campaigning to become a congresswoman.

Carolina Florez Gonzalez, 25, is running for political office in her native Colombia.

The model and social media celebrity is looking to swap show business for political drudgery.

At 19 she was married to Jose Rodolfo Perez, a former congressman who was known for his lavish tastes.

But they divorced after four years of marriage.

She is also known for her social media profile and the bikini snaps she uploads.

Florez Gonzalez’s images regularly receive thousands of likes and flattering comments.

The model, who aspires to be a representative for the Colombian capital of Bogota, is also fighting a case of mistaken identity.

An adult video was shared with Florez Gonzalez named as the actress.

“I am not the one in the video,” said the former Miss World candidate.

“The woman is a Canadian adult movie actress who committed suicide in December because of the cyber-bullying she received on social media.”

Florez Gonzalez was referring to August Ames, the 23-year-old porn actress who hanged herself after receiving a barrage of abuse online.

The social media star is entering politics to tackle corruption and fight against the mistreatment of women and children in the country.

She said: “The laws are ineffective and such violent men should not be on the streets.”
