The 'Gigi' star is an early riser but has admitted she is partial to hitting the 'snooze' button every now and again so she can have a few more minutes with her pooch Darla.

She said: "I actually like getting out of bed. I wake up every morning excited about the day! Sometimes I hit snooze, but it's normally to cuddle with my dog.

"Her name is Darla she's a rescue and she's just the sweetest little ragamuffin I've ever met. She's a terrier mix, she's a mutt. We think she's one and a half years old."

And the 26-year-old actress says her chirpy morning personality has nothing to do with coffee as she chooses not to indulge in the caffeine drink.

She added: "I don't really have morning coffee! But I just love lattes so whenever I can get one, I get one."

Vanessa also admitted she is incredibly conscious of what she eats as she treats her body as her "temple".

She shared: "I think about my body as being my temple, so I want to put food into it that will sustain me and give me nutrients and vitamins that I need. I of course indulge every now and then, but I try to think of food as fuel."

When asked what her guilty pleasures are, she added to TODAY: "Italian food! Pizza, pasta, and lots of bread."
