Heidi Klum Is The World's Hottest Model

Heidi Klum has been left astounded after winning the title of world’s hottest model, because she’s shocked a mother of three children could pick up such an honour.

The German beauty beat the likes of Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima to reach number one on the models.com list.

Gleaming 35-year old Klum said of her triumphant win: "It felt great, especially after having three children.

“It's brilliant for all mums because women sometimes worry whether they can still be sexy after having kids or how they're going to be perceived by people for being a mum.

“I had employers who thought if I had a child I wouldn't fit in the sexiest women category any more. But I think it's different these days."

The supermodel has a three-year old daughter, Helene, with ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore, and two sons, Henry and Johan, with her husband Seal.
