Transformers' ravishing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

1. She's a distant relative of Queen Victoria. Yes, it's not just Victoria's Secret that the model hails from. Distant relative Lieutenant-Commander Miles Huntington-Whiteley married Queen Victoria's great-great-granddaughter Victoria, cementing Rosie's claim to royalty. 

2. Her favourite meal is steak and fries. Steak has very few cons but there's no denying the carb content in chips. With her figure, you'd never know. 

3. Her beauty tip is remarkably unfussy. "Drink a big bottle of water every day, as it will take away puffiness. Water is the drug of God, that's what I say." Well, if it works for her.

4. She's dating an older man. The 24-year-old beauty has been dating 43-year-old British actor Jason Statham since April 2010. Last February she told Us Weekly that, despite the age difference, their relationship works "because we love each other". 

5. She signed a three-year deal with leading lingerie company Victoria's Secret in 2009, but the model claims she learnt her strut from two of her Jamaican ex-flat mates in London. "I lived with them for a brief time in London when I was 16," she said in an interview with Complex magazine. "One was a model and one was a model agent".

6. Despite her sex symbol status, she still has insecure days. "Any woman will tell you she has her good and bad days," the star told The Sunday Times in 2009. "I won't do a lingerie shoot unless I'm tanned. I think most women will admit that they look better when they're brown. I fake tan — but I don't recommend sunbeds — and at work, they'll put body make-up on."

7. She was bullied as a kid. Despite her model good-looks, she says playground bullies would call her "kipper lips". "There was a big group of girls that was Devon's answer to Mean Girls, and they would storm the bathroom shouting, "I'm going to deck you, Lips!", the model told GQ magazine.
