She may have lost a bet after the New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI yesterday, but Maria Menounos definitely gained some new fans today.

The 33-year-old Extra host gamely stripped down to a tiny string bikini in Times Square this afternoon.

She had promised her Extra co-host Mario Lopez that she would wear a Giants bikini in the bitter New York cold if the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl.

The presenter definitely earned some appreciative glances from the men in the crowd, including co-host Lopez.

The terms of the bet were that Menounos would 'bare all' if the Patriots lost, while correspondent A.J. Calloway would have to wear a Patriots cheerleader outfit.

She tweeted a photograph of herself earlier today wearing her robe with the caption: 'Ready to face the music.'

She had to steal herself for the big reveal though as she departed Indianapolis to arrive in the Big Apple.

She wrote: 'Flying to ny now...today is gonna stink. At least it's not bitter cold there. Should be 50 degrees I hear.'

The correspondent doesn't blame her team for losing, or for the fact that she had to strut her stuff in the midst of Manhattan.
