Nina Schubert went to school with Rob and was a successful model before she turned her back on the industry and moved to New Zealand.

She has been working at a freezing works which is a million miles away from what she was doing when she was briefly dating Rob.

Nina told Life & Style: "We sort boned-out meat that comes down on the conveyor hot and still pulsating. I've shown some skill and they're going to give me some knife training for a trimming job.

"We were laid off because there was no kill, but I've been called back for next week."

Rob has stepped in and commissioned Nina to paint a canvas for him.

She explains: "Rob is still a really good friend of mine. He's hopefully going to come here, if he can get a break from working. I gave him my paintings when we lived together in London. Now he's commissioned me to paint one for him and I'm working on it."

Nina has changed quite a bit in the last few years.

She says: "It was the tall, blonde, body thing. I wasn't a dark, edgy girl, I was commercial, long blonde hair and long legs.

"But I'm not a model any more, I got bored. I'm 26 in April and they told me I could model till I'm 40 and you can. It's whether you want to. No, I'm not running away from something, I just got tired of it all. I want to do something else, but right now I don't know what that is. It's a blank canvas. I'm still getting offers to go to Europe for modelling work."

Rob isn't the only famous person Nina knows. She used to be friends with Sienna Miller as well.
