Who? Molly Smith

Age: 18

Hometown: Wirksworth in Derbyshire

Story so far: Molly was scouted shopping in Covent Garden four years ago, and since then she’s worked on Burberry, Topshop, and Cerruti campaigns. She’s currently in NYC for her first catwalk season since finishing school, so expect to see her very soon indeed.

Favourite designers? Roksanda Ilincic or Christopher Bailey for Burberry.

What did you want to be when you were younger? When I was really little I always wanted to be an artist. I used to come home from playgroup every day with about 10 paintings at a time. I had skills!

What can’t you live without? Sliced peaches and a hot water bottle.

Favourite London hangouts? Greenwich — walking down the river and having a drink in The Gypsy Moth.

My guilty pleasure is…ginger men, but I don’t feel guilty.

In five words, I’m… happy, Northern, loves a pie.

In 20 years time I’ll be…picking up my fifth Best Actress Oscar.

If you want my advice, always….wear clean knickers.

If you want my advice, never… take my advice.

Heaven is…ginger men feeding me peach slices.

Hell is…somewhere I’d rather not visit.

There is too much…horse meat in burgers.
