“I took it a bit too far, as usual, and I ended up in the newspapers worldwide. You can’t buy that type of advertising!”

Your MAXIM cover photoshoot is amazing, Heather, congrats! How do you feel?

I feel excited. This is a great opportunity, thank you! The location – a stunning house on the Gold Coast – was so beautiful and the weather was perfect. I also got to wear my favourite colours of swimwear.

Well, you look great. What would you say is your best asset?

My positive attitude and ability to get along with many different personalities. I also think I have a great smile, good calves (LOL), am intelligent, determined, fit, well-groomed and caring.

That’s a decent list! So, when do you feel you are at your sexiest?

When I have a great tan – I love that healthy glow. Also, when I receive a matching lingerie set – nothing beats new lingerie.

Tell us a little more about your background and life story so far.

I was born and grew up in Scotland, went to university and then started travelling the world modelling. I came to Australia as a backpacker, fell in love with the place and decided to make it my home. I’ve had a few hurdles since I’ve been here but it’s made me into who I am today. I’m grateful for everything I have and the opportunities I have had in life.

Speaking of hurdles, you gained notoriety as the girl who stripped naked in a corporate box at the 2014 AFL Grand Final. For those who don’t remember, tell us how this incident unfolded.
