Paige has been modelling for almost as long as she's been able to talk. The daughter of a male model and a clothes designer, her baby photos include a complete portfolio of her dressed in catalogue clothing for under 10s. 'I was too young to have a say in the clothes then,' she says, 'but I soon learnt.' Even so it took until this year for the angelic 23-year-old Aussie-born model to break off the catwalk and onto our screens. The more eagle eyed among you may recognise her from this year's Wyclef Virgin mobile ads. Rumour has it that Wyclef was so impressed by her obvious talents that he spent the whole shoot trying to 'show her his trailer'.

'Rubbish,' Paige insists, 'His wife was there. Besides he`s not my type at all.' So what, pray, is her type Maxim wonders hopefully. 'Well my ultimate dream is to open a wildlife ranch in Australia where I never have to brush my hair again' Paige tells us. 'I need a man who can help me muck out the kangaroos in the morning.' So just how feminine is shovelling marsupial dung? 'It's not,' Paige laughs, 'but you should see me in the afternoons.'
