British heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson has been announced as ambassador for the new Nissan Micra, and is to appear in a series of TV ads as part of the car manufacturer's 12 month sponsorship of Sky Living Drama.

Jim Wright, managing director of Nissan GB, said the London 2012 Olympian 'epitomises a "Go Get It" attitude and as a dedicated individual who excels in all seven of her chosen disciplines, she was the perfect fit for the new Nissan Micra'.
