‘It’s awesome,’ she said, ‘I’ve never wanted to be famous or world known to the point where I have paparazzi and stuff, but having young girls come up to me expressing to me how much of an inspiration I am and asking for a photo seriously makes my day,’ she said.

Ms Smith has hinted at her new role on Instagram, with a selection of racy lingerie snaps.

‘Shooting again for @loveintimo again today,’ the blonde beauty wrote on Saturday alongside a close-up of herself in a simple black bra.

The Melbourne-raised model shot to fame on social media after aspiring to be a model throughout her childhood.

‘I then fell in love with the lifestyle’: Ms Smith says she regrets nothing and loves being able to travel and model

‘But after all the amazing experiences I’ve had with travel and meeting people in my career, I really do not regret starting it at all.’

‘I finished high school and got straight into modelling. I was lucky to be signed with Chadwicks and picked up a number of regular clients that kept me busy. I then fell in love with the lifestyle.’

Intimo’s AW16 campaign marks the beginning of the brands move from direct selling to becoming retail based company in early 2016.
