Jodie Kidd: The 5-Minute Interview

'We're destroying the environment - but scrap the C-charge'

Jodie Kidd, 27, has been chosen as the face of DVLA's new online and telephone car tax service which allows motorists to pay their road tax wherever or whenever they want without having to produce supporting documents.

If I wasn't talking to you right now I'd be...

In bed.

A phrase I use far too often is...

"I'm not here".

A common misperception of me is...

That I'm not approachable - but I am.

The most surprising thing that ever happened to me was...

Probably chipping in on the road hole at St Andrews for a birdie net eagle. I was playing with Colin Montgomerie at the time .

In moments of weakness I tend to...

Run away.

The best age to be is...

Two, because everything you do is fun and you don't yet have the worries of the world on your shoulders - and your mum looks after you.

I wish people would take more notice of...

The environment, the ozone, the melting ice-caps and all the awful things happening on the planet. We're destroying it.

The ideal night out is...

At home with my husband and spaghetti bolognese and a very good bottle of wine.

I'm very bad at...

Admitting defeat.

I'm very good at...

Winning.

You know me as a model but in a different life I'd have been...

A horse trainer or something to do with horses. I love horses and connect with them. I'd love to do that.

I'm not a politician but...

I'd like to get rid of the congestion charge.

In a nutshell my philosophy is this:

Live every day as if it is your last.
