Model Rachel Hunter was devastated last night after being booted off reality show Celebrity Circus.

The 38-year-old - who has admitted that she is unhappy with her current muscular physique - couldn’t hide her disappointment when she lost out on a place in the final after receiving the bottom score from judges.

The former wife of Rod Stewart put on a brave face as she hugged fellow contestants actress Stacey Dash and TV star Antonio Sabato Junior goodbye.

Hunter recently said that she was unhappy with her physical appearance on the show and complained that its athletic nature has caused her to gain muscle and make her look bigger.

She appeared bloated during her last appearance on the show but was back to her slender self this time round and looked stunning in a figure hugging purple number.

The 5ft 10in model's weight has fluctuated over the years. At 11st she was at her heaviest following the birth of her second child, Liam who is now 13.

The New Zealander then followed a gruelling diet and rigorous exercise regime to shed the weight.

Her reward was to become the face and body of underwear brand Ultimo - replacing ex-husband's Rod Stewart's latest wife Penny Lancaster.

Last year Hunter – who previously dated singer Robbie Williams - signed up to be the face of diet drink SlimFast.

'As I've gotten older, I can't eat as much as I used to,’ she said at the time.

'The diet is not something I want to involve my daughter in. There are already too many stresses on teens. We sit down and have dinner together.’

She married Stewart, who is 24 years her senior, at the age of 21 but walked out in 1999. They have two children, Renee, 15, and Liam.
