Half of them don’t know what I really do. My dad is Greek and was quite strict when I was a kid. Telling him that I was going topless for the Sport was hard, but he said, ‘Whatever makes you happy.’ My parents know deep down that I am not naïve and that I won’t do anything I feel uncomfortable with. My mum probably guessed I’d get into modelling. She is very attractive and still looks quite young. I think, if she hadn’t married young and settled down, she could have been a really good model herself.

My nan, bless her … she loves it. She was telling the ambulance men a few months ago that her granddaughter is a model. She then got out all my photos and said, ‘Oh she definitely gets her looks from me’!

To be honest, some members of my family are proud of me, like my fiancée, Rob, my sister, Sam, who’s 20, and my brother, John, who’s 12 – I have a lot of time for them and will look after them when I really start to reap the benefits. Those that are against my chosen career path can kiss my ass, family or not. At the end of the day, it’s my life and no one is going to stand in the way of my ambitions.
