Elle Macpherson says she's much more comfortable with her body now she's in her late 40s.

The 47-year-old supermodel has been in the industry since she was a teenager and while she's had two children, Elle has never been happier with the way she looks.

The Australian beauty - who is the new host of Britain's Next Top Model - said: "We are born with our genes but how we present, that is up to us”.

“That's why I work better than I did 30 years ago. I still have the same genetics but I have changed as a woman,” she said.

“I am interested in different things and I'm more confident in my body now. I am more confident being me."

Even though she is one of the world's most in-demand models, Elle says she is shocked at how successful she still is.

"I never thought I'd be working for thirty years... we just happened to be in the right place at the right time... the 80s was a period of extravagance, there was a need for dynamic women,” she said during an interview on British TV show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

On the show she also revealed she loves her nickname; 'The Body'.

"It was a funny catchphrase, then it kept going and going - I turned it into a business,” she says.
