Angela Stone said on The Real Housewives of Auckland that she modeled for Tourism NZ, so we decided to dig further.

Last night on the premiere of The Real Housewives of Auckland, Angela Stone said her modelling career included being "the face of Tourism NZ".

The revelation was quickly overshadowed when fellow housewife, Michelle Blanchard, hijacked the conversation by insinuating that Stone must be a "plus-size model".

But we didn't forget the Tourism NZ comment, which became all the more intriguing when an internet search failed to surface any proof of Stone's said Tourism NZ campaign.

After some further digging, we can confirm Stone has indeed worked on Tourism NZ campaigns, only, we cannot legally show you any proof.

A spokeswoman for Tourism NZ confirmed that Stone had worked in "several campaign photo shoots for Tourism New Zealand", and sent links to photos of Stone in the visuals library at the website NewZealand.com.

But licensing restrictions mean the images cannot be used by New Zealand media, which is why it's unlikely you have seen her campaigns either.

To set your minds at ease, here are two of Stone's Tourism NZ campaigns photos, one at Mount Cook National Park, and at the Mackenzie Basin in Canterbury.

The latter photo is apparently a "top performer" in the Indian market, as well as having wide appeal in the Japanese market.

As well as dabbling in modelling, Stone is also a stylist, fashion designer and author.
