Tyra Banks reveals the incredible amount of ice cream she eats in a day - after sharing how much weight she's gained since modelling heyday
Tyra Banks has revealed that she loves frozen desserts so much that she visits three ice cream stores in a single day.
The supermodel, who now lives in Australia, said one of her favourite things to do on a Saturday in Sydney is take the ferry across the harbour to Manly and go on an ice cream binge.
'We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row' she tells the Daily Telegraph of her favourie local frosty treat vendors.
'Call it excessive - we call it Saturday' the 51-year-old continued.
'We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much.'
Tyra is such a big fan of the sweet and cold stuff that she has opened her very own ice cream store.
Her SMiZE & DREAM parlour opened last week in the heart of Sydney's Darling Harbour.
It comes after Tyra revealed how much weight she has gained since her heyday walking the runway in Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.
Tyra returned to the catwalk for the American underwear brand last year.
While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show last year, the supermodel turned mogul discussed feeling true joy as she returned to her role as a Victoria's Secret Angel for the evening.
After Drew said Banks looked like she felt 'good about' herself and was truly 'living in the moment and really present' during her runway walk, Banks said that description perfectly captured what it was like to dust off her wing after so many years.
Unlike in past years when the mother-of-one said she 'would walk' for herself, the Life-Size actress said, this time, she 'felt like everybody was inside of' her as she took the stage.
'50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different,' Banks raved.
The America's Next Top Model creator also reflected on how her body has changed over the years.
'Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired,' she told viewers.
'So I was like, "Don't fall out, don't fall out."'
While serving as a VS Angel, Banks walked nine shows, before announcing her retirement from modelling in 2005.
Banks walked in her first fashion show for the lingerie brand in 1996.
Her final Victoria's Secret runway appearance took place in 2005, before she embarked on a career in television.
In 2009, she opened up about no longer believing in diets.
'I have been on diets in the past. They are a bunch of bologna,' she said on The Tyra Show at the time.
'It's not about being skinny. It's about being in the best shape you can be.'

Holly Valance splits from billionaire Nick Candy
Former singer and Neighbours actress Holly Valance and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy have split and are heading for divorce after 13 years of marriage, it has been reported. Australian-born Valance, 42, and billionaire property developer Candy, 52, are said to have broken up in recent weeks, according to The Sun. The couple, who have two daughters, met in 2009 and became engaged two years later before marrying in California in 2012 at a ceremony attended by 300 guests. A family friend told the newspaper: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. 'They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. ' Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' A spokesman for Valance said: 'This is a private matter, and there will be no comment. The privacy of all parties involved is respectfully requested' The couple are high-profile figures within Reform UK, and met Donald Trump with party leader Nigel Farage at the US president's Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022. After her stint in the Australian soap Neighbours where she played Felicity 'Flick' Scully from 1999, Valance had a music career, including the UK number one hit single Kiss Kiss released in 2002. She also reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Damon Heta reveals he wanted to ‘run into the crowd and do something silly' at US Darts Masters
DAMON HETA revealed he considered running into the crowd during a stellar debut at Madison Square Garden. The World No.10 got his US Darts Masters campaign off to a flying start with a 6-1 demolition over Jim Long. 1 Heta, 37, thumped in three 180s and hit 50 per cent of his doubles on the way to victory. Australian thrower Heta has featured in World Series shows in his homeland but is now soaking up every moment of the experience in the Iconic Venue at the Big Apple. He said: 'I had some fun up there. I don't know if you noticed. It was insane. You just wanted to hit 180s because the crowd wanted it. 'I denied them a few times, got booed a few times, but once I hit one, let it rain, let it pour, it was insane. 'That was brilliant, that was electric. I just really enjoyed myself up there and that's what I wanted to come and do. My darts were flowing, so I was definitely happy to get the win on my first time here.' He added: 'I got confused there because it wasn't just your normal walk on. You had to start from the side and then walk in and there's no barricades, there's no nothing. 'I was like, oh, we're not just sitting there signing, we're just in the mix and there was a moment where I thought: You know what, I might just run into the crowd and do something silly! 'But then I think there might have been a fine and my wife said not to and I was like: Alright, I'll keep it simple and who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll keep the security on their guard!' Former World Cup winner Heta is proud to feature in the event after climbing the world rankings. He revealed: 'It's probably with reason. You've got to earn your spot, earn your ways and earn your time and, obviously, whether one or two dropped out and that's the way I got my spot, that's fair do's. 'Not the proudest moment of my life' - Darts star Rob Cross breaks silence on £450k tax issue that led to ban 'Even if I didn't get it, that's just fair play for the people that are here, they earned their ways and that's what it is. 'When you get in those top echelons, you're not just there on or whatever, you're there because you've put in the hard times and you've done what you needed to do to get there. 'So I'm taking it for all that it is as well. I'm not taking it for granted.' Heta has been in good form this year as he picked up the Players Championship 13 title. He nearly clinched his second Euro Tour title but fell short to Nathan Aspinall in the final of the European Darts Open earlier this month.
