Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue cover girl Kate Upton has said she is always asked to Dougie after a video of her doing the dance surfaced online last year.
Upton was filmed dancing to 'Teach Me How to Dougie' by hip-hop group Cali Swag District at a Clippers game at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles in April 2011.
The clip was then posted on YouTube, where it has amassed more than four million views so far.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (February 21), she said: "I cant go anywhere without someone playing it - good thing I like the song!
"It sometimes can be [annoying] but obviously I'm very good at Dougie-ing so I like to show off my skills!"
She added: "I only do part of it. I'm like, 'Listen, I can't do the whole thing!'"
Upton, 19, was revealed as the cover girl for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue for 2012 during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last week, when a giant billboard of the magazine cover was revealed in New York.
"I come from a big sports family so Sports Illustrated was always coming to our house and obviously I was only interested in the swimsuit issue!" she said.
As for her future plans, she said: "I'm not sure yet. I just want to enjoy this moment and I just launched my own swimwear line."
