Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look
Former America's Next Top Model star Tyra Banks has revealed her 'excessive' love for ice-cream as she launches a brand new business following her move to Australia Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia. The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict. Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three. The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row. "Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much." Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under. She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are. "I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids. "There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself. Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth." Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. "I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different." She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

Tyra Banks reveals the incredible amount of ice cream she eats in a day - after sharing how much weight she's gained since modelling heyday
Tyra Banks has revealed that she loves frozen desserts so much that she visits three ice cream stores in a single day. The supermodel, who now lives in Australia, said one of her favourite things to do on a Saturday in Sydney is take the ferry across the harbour to Manly and go on an ice cream binge. 'We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row' she tells the Daily Telegraph of her favourie local frosty treat vendors. 'Call it excessive - we call it Saturday' the 51-year-old continued. 'We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much.' Tyra is such a big fan of the sweet and cold stuff that she has opened her very own ice cream store. Her SMiZE & DREAM parlour opened last week in the heart of Sydney's Darling Harbour. It comes after Tyra revealed how much weight she has gained since her heyday walking the runway in Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows. Tyra returned to the catwalk for the American underwear brand last year. While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show last year, the supermodel turned mogul discussed feeling true joy as she returned to her role as a Victoria's Secret Angel for the evening. After Drew said Banks looked like she felt 'good about' herself and was truly 'living in the moment and really present' during her runway walk, Banks said that description perfectly captured what it was like to dust off her wing after so many years. Unlike in past years when the mother-of-one said she 'would walk' for herself, the Life-Size actress said, this time, she 'felt like everybody was inside of' her as she took the stage. '50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different,' Banks raved. The America's Next Top Model creator also reflected on how her body has changed over the years. 'Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired,' she told viewers. 'So I was like, "Don't fall out, don't fall out."' While serving as a VS Angel, Banks walked nine shows, before announcing her retirement from modelling in 2005. Banks walked in her first fashion show for the lingerie brand in 1996. Her final Victoria's Secret runway appearance took place in 2005, before she embarked on a career in television. In 2009, she opened up about no longer believing in diets. 'I have been on diets in the past. They are a bunch of bologna,' she said on The Tyra Show at the time. 'It's not about being skinny. It's about being in the best shape you can be.'
