Twiggy is delighted to read about the eye-watering sums female models are being paid today.

The 66-year-old icon became worldwide star in the 1960s as a fashion model and has revealed she is thrilled that the top catwalk models, like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, are being so handsomely rewarded for their work.
She said: "I think I was probably one of the first people to do merchandising back then.
"We did a Twiggy doll and make-up, but we got ripped off because it was so new and we didn't know what we were doing. Somebody made lots of money.
"But I was young and green. So it's wonderful if these girls are lucky enough to get a great break and take control business-wise because, if they don't, someone else will."
Meanwhile, Twiggy revealed she has been exercising regularly in a bid to maintain her enviable figure. She also tries to ensure she gets a good amount of sleep each night.
The iconic model told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "The minimum is eight hours - nine if I'm lucky."
And unlike the majority of fashion models, Twiggy refuses to wear high heels these days.
She shared: "I can't walk in them. The only way heels work is if a girl can walk in them.
'Kate [Moss] walks in heels absolutely brilliantly. But you see these girls tottering down the street in agony. I don't see the point."
