The 21-year-old model loves expressing her creative side at home, and thinks even the children's construction sets count as "art".

She said: "I do a lot of art at home, like painting, drawing, sometimes working with clay. I build a lot of Lego sets. That's art, I guess!"

And Gigi - who is dating singer Zayn Malik - also loves spending time at pottery studio Color Me Mine, where she paints gifts for her friends and finds the lengthy craft sessions incredibly relaxing.

She told America's Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I had my birthday parties at a Color Me Mine in L.A. when I was a kid, so now on my days off in New York I'll get coffee with some friends and go to Color Me Mine and sit there for, like, five hours and paint really detailed mugs or whatever.

"They're good birthday presents or presents for yourself, and it's really relaxing."

Gigi was left devastated when her favourite ice cream store closed down - so now she ensures supplies of her favourite frozen dessert are posted to her home instead.

She said: "There used to be an Emack & Bolio's on Houston Street, which is my favorite ice-cream place -- I love the Grasshopper Pie -- and I would walk past it on my way to the gym every day, but one day it was closed and I almost cried. Now I'll just Postmate pints of it to my apartment."

The blonde beauty is keen to land a role in a crime TV show.

She said: "Before I go to bed I like to watch 'Girls'. I also loved 'Prison Break'. I studied criminal psychology in school, so one day I hope I can use my studies to be on 'Law & Order: SVU'."
