The South African model also admits she was shocked to be named the sexiest woman in the world by the magazine ahead of other contenders for the title, including Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Irina Shayk and Jennifer Lawrence.

She said: "It feels amazing. I don't know how that happened, maybe my mom had something to do with that, voting non-stop. I expected an actress..."

She added: "When I'm on holiday, I try to take a break from make-up. If we have a night out, or go and see a band or something, I'll do some blush and mascara - but I try to keep it really minimal."
