'But I have a huge sweet tooth! Chocolate ice-cream, like cookies and cream, that’s my go-to.'

She went on: 'I work out four to five times a week and change my workout from cycling to running, and yoga to pilates.

'Depending on what country I’m in, it’ll be a hotel gym or running outside. Then sometimes I do vinyasa yoga or Pilates in my hotel room.'

It was while on the show that she met host and American model and actor Tyson, whom she went on to date for several years.

In 2011 she became the fifth Australian model to walk for Victoria’s Secret, joining Miranda Kerr, Elyse Taylor, Jess Hart and Abbey Lee Kershaw.

More recently, Tyson, a former Ralph Lauren model, reportedly got into a late night fight with her fiance DJ Ruckus over her outside the Up & Down nightclub in Manhattan, New York, according to TMZ.

A slanging match is said to have erupted with the 32-year-old DJ flipping off the 45-year-old model turned actor, sources told TMZ, and they took it out to the street.
