The third season of Orange is the New Black hits ours screens this Friday with a new object of lust that makes Laura Prepon look like a virginal schoolgirl – the sassy, sarcastic Stella Carlin, played by bad girl-turned-philanthropist Ruby Rose. And rumour has it that the ballsy rock-chick, who defied stereotypes and went on to conquer the music and the fashion industry, has the 2 hottest inmates eating from her hand all through the upcoming 14 episodes.

With the latest Netflix instalment, which hits the airwaves on June 12, expected to reach millions of viewers, Ruby Rose is set to become the new queen of mainstream TV. Not bad going for someone who thought her out-there tattoos and in-your-face style would stop her from making it in showbiz.
