The approach means the toned commercial designer can hit the gym hard, whilst winning international respect for her her feasting feats.

Leah has even represented the UK in contests, flying to New York for Japanese TV show 'Battle of the Big Eaters' while pursuing her high flying career.

She said: 'I'm a bit of a multifaceted person, I'm not really run of the mill or normal at all.

'With competitive eating I didn't really pursue it, it found me about four years ago and ever since then it has been one of my passions.

'Since I started I have taken on 30-50 challenges and I've completed them all, I've never lost one - although I have come second best against other people.

'My family are a little bit proud of what I like to call my God given talent, but I don't think they know what to make of it.

Despite it just being a hobby Leah hopes she can take it further.

She said: 'At the moment it is just a hobby, but I'd like to see where it could take me an what challenges are next.

'Guys I know and people I have dated in the past find it really fascinating,' she said.

'There's this preconception that when girls go out they only eat salad or don't want to be seen to be eating.

'I'm like "Give me a steak and make it medium rare".'
