Jourdan was scouted at the age of 15 by Storm Model Management and has gone on to find fame across the globe.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in September, Jordan admitted that being in the spotlight means she finds it hard to form friendships - and she trusts her instincts to filter out the disingenuous people.  

‘I’ve made strong friendships in the spotlight and you’re meeting new people all the time. But you soon become wary and realise that some people just want to get near you for your name.

'I have developed good judgement and go off vibes now. Anyone with bad energy is cut off straight away.’   

Being part of the newest batch of supermodels, which includes Kendall Jenner and Gigi and Bella Hadid, Jourdan counts Karlie Kloss as one of her closest friends. 

Relaxed about her A-list shoulder-rubbing is her son Riley, who she reveals helps keep her feet firmly planted on the ground.
