But years of jetting across the globe on glamorous modelling assignments have made her finally appreciate the joys of the British countryside. Devon-born Rosie, 27, told Esquire magazine:


"I was the country kid who wanted to go to the city. "As soon as I hit my teens and started to get inspired by fashion and culture I wanted the cosmopolitan life and the


opportunities you could only get if you lived in London. "I wanted to be in a city that was glamorous, that was sexy, that was dangerous." She went on to tell the publication that


she has now fallen back in love with her home county. “I had to leave Devon to really appreciate it,” she said. “I’ve travelled across the world. I’ve been to some stunning places and now I


go back to Devon and it is right up there. "It’s kind of breathtaking." Rosie was crowned Model of the Year at Elle magazine’s Style Awards last week. But her hectic lifestyle


makes her value time spent out of the spotlight, such as on a recent holiday to Thailand with her partner, actor Jason Statham, 47. “It was really the first time in the five years we’ve been


together where Jason and I have been able to lie on a beach and not have some zoom lens on me,” she said. You can read the full interview with Rosie in Esquire’s April issue, which goes on
