Elle MacPhersonElle Macpherson has revealed that even supermodels sometimes find it hard to find a boyfriend.

She told Esquire recently: “I just don’t get men hitting on me.”

“It’s crazy - but apart from a brief romantic intermission last summer, I have been single and celibate for two years. How boring is that?”

And it’s not even as if she’s leaving it all up to the men to take the lead: “I’m a hopeless flirt, I’ll go up to a guy and say ‘I think you’re so beautiful’ - but it doesn’t work.”

She has been linked to a number of men - including Strictly Come Dancing contestant Ray Fearon - during that time but she denies anything happens with them: “None of it is true. Some of them I don’t even know. Others are just friends. I don’t do flings because relationships are important to me.”
