Model Emma Padfield has never been to university but she could graduate with top honours when it comes to knowledge of the male species.

The 21-year-old from Nab Wood, Shipley, is about to put the hapless male under the microscope for Channel Four documentary series Cutting Edge.

And she says she is preparing to reveal all in an interview for women's magazine Marie Claire in which she explains how she gets men to do anything she wants.

Emma, who has become infamous for the number of high-profile football stars she says she has dated including Leeds United stars Lee Bowyer and Jonathan Woodgate, explains how easy it is to manipulate men.

"Most are stupid," she said. "You could get more sense out of my pet bunny! It's a programme about how girls use their looks. Men treat women badly and this programme is designed to even things up a bit.

"They will treat you bad if you give them half a chance but I won't take any nonsense. They are so easy to manipulate - they don't think with their brains but with their trousers!"

And she has rough words for Yorkshire's red-blooded youth whom she thinks are the world's worst when it comes to manners.

"Southern men are much nicer. Up here if you go into a pub and a bloke fancies you he'll buy you half a lager and give you ten pence to phone your mum and tell her you're not coming home tonight!

"Guys down south have a much more subtle approach. They are so much more polite and civilised. They will leave you a while and then offer to buy you some champagne or something. Even in Manchester they are better but Yorkshire lads are the worst. They're quite cheeky."

But she says she is reluctant to get too close to any bloke - because it would spoil her marketability as a single, available girl. "I wouldn't get the jobs if I did," she added.

Her tricks of the trade to gain male attention include long spells preparing to knock them dead. Up to two or three hours is spent getting her hair just right, manicuring her fingernails, and dressing in an eye-catching outfit.

If that doesn't work she follows up with a seductive smile and, most important, a quick look away.

The as yet nameless programme is scheduled for transmission in April.
