Petroula Kostidou dressed in puffs or with raincoats, as a nurse or in red underwear, the teacher Petroula is always ready for a lesson and every night nails all Greeks in front of their TV screens.
The TV channel STAR risks and wins – the weather forecast after the news at eight is one of the mostly watched programs. Her closing sentence “I am Petroula and I just came” is spread around among Greeks and is a constant reason to laugh. So you understand this is a slightly different way of showing the forecast – sexy and scandalous at the same time.
“Of course I am very happy. A door has opened in front of me, which will hopefully help me on my road to make my dreams come true. I will always give you the weather forecast on STAR the way I want to. I guess people like my style and I promise you a fun time even during stormy periods. I am Petroula, I am only 19 years old, I am blonde and I want to play with my life and win. Let us not forget that many blondes are smart too and they manage to do well in life as well as in their careers,” says the sex symbol Petroula at the end of January when her first shows started.
The weather forecast, which Petroula shows after the news on STAR have become the most watched program and she – the most discussed TV personality, which made 23.7% of the viewers switch channels to STAR at exactly 08:55pm, in order to see the weather. Petroula even swept away the number one Eleni Menegaki – TV host of the morning show “Morning Coffee,” who got 21.9%.
Petroula is full of temperament and a sweltering blonde, which won her a two plus two year contract and a career opportunity in TV. The name of the 19 year old comes up in many websites and her fans call her the Greek Paris Hilton.
Petroula wants to be famous and at any cost and she achieves it by making brave decisions. She is never left unnoticed and an example of this is her participation in the 2007 beauty contest, where she did not win and this made her so mad that she took of her high heel shoes and threw them at the jury.
Ever since then, there are cameras after her all the time, not missing even one of her moves. And because the viewers liked her negative comments about the opposite sex, Petroula is now commentator in the morning show “There is a Reason.” There, in a Sharon Stone way from “Basic Instinct” she crosses her legs in front of the camera, in order to steal people’s attention.
During the middle of December 2008, it was Petroula’s photo session for Playboy and this rocketed her popularity sky high. She provocatively looks at you from the cover and gives a playful interview. After this STAR’s offer follows, offering her to become the presenter of the weather forecast. The prerequisite was her “beauty charms” to become her trademarks.
And at the end, an advice from Petroula herself: “Sugary boys, be careful not to melt!”
