Tell us something we don’t know about South Africa…

We have the best fish and chips anywhere in the world.

Better than ours? Fish and chips is the national dish of the UK.

Really? I didn’t know that. Well, I doubt your fish and chips are better than the ones you get in Cape Town – our stuff is so fresh. Plus anyone who lives in South Africa could live like a king or queen. I’ve been in London for two months, and the price of things here is scary. London is very different to how I was expecting it to be…

How do you mean?

In the movies, there’s always a nice vibe in the streets; people say hello to each other. But when I got here, I was so shocked! The people were kind of rude. There’s a film called Wild Child, which is about an American girl who goes to boarding school in England. I thought it’d be just like that: all rainy and quaint.

It can be like that! Where do you live now?

I’m living with four other models in Shepherd’s Bush.

Sounds good.

Ha! Guys always get excited when they hear about that. I’d love to tell you that we’re constantly having sexy pillow fights, but I’m afraid that’s just the image in your head…

Is Afrikaans your first language?

It is – I actually didn’t start speaking English until I was 15. I think Afrikaans is a nice language, but I’ve had jobs in London where people have asked me to keep quiet because the accent irritates them. That is pretty damn rude, but I guess it proves that people don’t find it very sexy! French – now that’s incredible. That’s a beautiful language. Any man who speaks with a French accent… Mmm…

So aside from being French, what else do you look for in a man?

Firstly, he needs to have a good sense of humour. He also needs to be intelligent and treat me like gold. A beautiful guy with a beautiful body wouldn’t hurt either! But I don’t know where I’m going to find that guy, I have high standards. It’s my dad’s

Is it still possible to chat you up?

If you’re a nice gentleman and you say that I’m really beautiful, then I might give you my number. But don’t say, “Hey, you sexy thing, can I have your number? Let’s grab dinner…” No thanks. That’s not going to work. But if you’re polite, I don’t mind having a drink with you in a cool bar or something.

Have you ever kissed someone you’ve only just met in a club?

Well I’ve done that, of course. But I would never expect to find a long-term relationship there!

When you are in a relationship, do you make a good girlfriend?

I’m a big rugby fan and I used to go and watch South Africa games with my ex. One time, when we got home, we took some pictures of me in his jersey while I did a lap dance. It was pretty sexy. That sounds hot, right?

Yes. Yes it does.

I eat a lot, too. My favourite meal is steak and chips with mushroom sauce and cheese – it’s making me hungry, just thinking about it.

Everyone looks at me and thinks I don’t eat but I really do. I stay healthy but I guess I’m just lucky, too. I have chocolate and coffee before I go to sleep every night. I can’t sleep without a coffee.

Eh? But coffee is meant to wake you up, isn’t it?

I think that’s shit, it makes me tired. I just had one and I’m sleepy now. But generally, if you want to impress me, take me to a buffet and just feed me. And give me whisky – that’s my drink. Johnnie Walker Black Label please!

So, the perfect date is watching rugby, drinking whisky, and then a dinner of steak and chips?

Do all that and I’ll be the happiest girl ever. Although that plan makes me sound like a guy, doesn’t it?
