PAIGE SPIRANAC has issued a brief statement following the news of Hooters' seemingly imminent bankruptcy. The iconic sports bar and restaurant chain closed several branches in the United States last year. It's claimed the Hooters brass are currently working with its creditors to restructure operations. And reports state legal proceedings could get underway as soon as April. The potential collapse of the Hotters chain has disheartened many, including glamour model Paige Spiranac. And the former professional golf player has jokingly vowed to save the franchise, writing on X: "Not on my watch." Spiranac, like thousands of Hooters girls around the world, is no stranger to wowing her fans on social media. The 31-year-old has four million followers on Instagram but initially found fame on the pro golf circuit. Recalling her one-year stint on the pro circuit, she said: "From the start, it was a massive controversy I was there. "There were pros, legends of the game, discussing if I belonged. “People were taking bets about whether I would come in last. "I’m this kid who has no experience, no media training. I completely bombed and publicly cried about it. "It was a s*** show."
