Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look
Former America's Next Top Model star Tyra Banks has revealed her 'excessive' love for ice-cream as she launches a brand new business following her move to Australia
Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia.
The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict.
Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three.
The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "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.
"Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much."
Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under.
She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are.
"I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids.
"There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself.
Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth."
Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "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."
She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "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. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

Iconic band set to hit Glastonbury in surprise set dropped major hint weeks ago
Haim are set to perform a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later today, the Mirror can reveal - but the band dropped hints to fans weeks ago Haim are set to perform a secret set at Glastonbury Festival later today - but actually revealed the news fans weeks ago. The American rock band, made up of sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim, last performed at Glastonbury in 2022 on the Pyramid Stage. But the girls will be performing on The Park stage this evening at 7.30pm, under the TBA slot – their favourite stage. Speaking to BBC Radio presenter Jo Whiley two weeks ago, Haim teased their fans about the not so secret slot. "We love The Park Stage," Alana said. "The Park Stage is our favourite, 'cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie." She went on to add: "It was like, 'What is going on? How did we get here?' And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world." Royal songstress Lorde graced the Woodsies stage on Friday morning, with a secret set being played to a crowd which was so packed festival bosses had to close off the area. A source told the Mirror: "It's sweltering inside the tent given the amount of people crammed inside. Bosses are urging people to stand up off the floor to make room. Some people are leaving as it's so intense." However, as the crowd spilled outside the tent, the source added: "Bosses have now shut down Woodsies as crowds are so big with a festival-wide message saying: 'Woodies is now full'." Lewis Capaldi also made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury on Friday - two years after he last performed at the festival. Back then the 28-year-old struggled to finish his set. His voice faltered as he told the crowd: "Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself." The crowd soon took over the vocals of his hit Someone You Loved. Announcing he was taking a break from music to focus on his health, Lewis - who suffers from Tourette's and anxiety - told fans: "I feel like I'll be taking another wee break over the next couple of weeks. So you probably won't see much of me for the rest of the year, maybe even. But when I do come back and when I do see you, I hope you're still up for watching us." In an emotional comeback performance, Lewis cried as he began to sing his new song Survive, which he released yesterday. He said his one goal was to get back on stage at Glastonbury as he paid tribute to the fans. Other big acts who are rumoured to be performing at Glastonbury are 90s rock band Pulp, who have just completed the UK leg of their latest tour. Frontman Jarvis Cocker has already performed a sneaky DJ set from inside a tree in the Greenpeace Field. But there are rumours the whole band could make an appearance as the mystery act billed only as Patchwork, who are due to hit the stage Saturday at 6:15pm. A source shared an exclusive photograph of the boxes – one of which is labelled with the band name Pulp. The source told us: "I spotted the sound engineer box with Pulp's name on as they were setting up during the Kaiser Chiefs set." Robbie Williams has also been dropping hints he could play three decades after he first crashed the festival as a newly-solo star. At first, fans got excited when he changed his Facebook photo to a 1995 backstage snap, but with tour dates abroad, people assumed it was off the cards. Though he has since posted two photos on X captioned simply '30 years later…' One showed a plaque reading: 'Robbie Williams entered this area without accreditation, authorisation, or alignment with prevailing taste. His presence was uninvited, unofficial and ultimately inevitable.' The second was the iconic 'Welcome to Glastonbury' sign. Good Luck, Babe! singer Chappell Roan also sparked a frenzy of speculation she could be performing a secret set. Posting a snap clutching a patchwork quilt with the caption 'insane vibe" fans wondered if she was teasing she was the Patchwork act. Fans only have a few hours to wait until all is revealed - and if you weren't lucky enough to get a ticket to this year's Glastonbury Festival you can still tune into all the coverage on BBC iPlayer.

More info The granddaughter of an Edinburgh film star celebrated Scottish cup glory with her Aberdeen star boyfriend, Dante Polvara. The midfielder was a hero at Hampden as Aberdeen Football Club pulled off a shock Scottish cup victory over Scotland, and by his side was none other than Natasha Connery, granddaughter of Sir Sean Connery- the original James Bond. During the match he was brought off the bench and scored a penalty in the shootout as Aberdeen FC won 4-3, reports The Daily Record. Off the pitch, the 25-year-old American who signed for Pittodrie straight from New York City FC's youth sides, has been dating Natasha since last summer. She is the daughter of Sir Sean Connery's stepson, making her a true Bond legacy. Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox The first actor to bring 007 to life on the big screen, starring in classics like Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever, Sir Sean Connery also bagged an Oscar for The Untouchables and was knighted in 2000 for his contribution to film. Adding another twist, former Rangers chairman Sir David Murray revealed that Connery secretly invested £1million into the club. Murray wrote in his book Mettle: "For years, Sean and I would share a catch-up call every weekend to chat through the football and we would inevitably kick off with Rangers. "After all, he had put £1million into the club which no one knew about at the time or even since. "I was raising £50million in 2004 and Sean asked if he could invest. "I told him that it was football, that there were no guarantees and he should get professional advice but he was adamant - he wanted in."
