Elle Macpherson believes not going under The Knife is her ''trick'' to looking good.

The 47-year-old supermodel insists she has not turned to plastic surgery, and argues she looks better for it.

She said: ''I'm a 34C [bra size], absolutely natural. The face looks like the face I have, very natural. Not falling into the plastic surgery thing is my trick.''

However, the mother-of-two admits to trying Botox in the past, along with other anti-ageing treatments.

She told The Sun newspaper: ''It didn't really work for me. I tried a bit of everything. You name it, I've tried it. This is as about as natural as you can get.''

Dubbed 'The Body' in honour of her toned figure, Elle confides she has to work out in order to counteract her love of food.

She told Sky News: ''I enjoy eating too much to give up on my favourite foods. ''My worst habit is eating too much - I eat like it's going out of fashion really.

''I stay active with things like water skiing and horse riding and I guess that keeps the weight off.

''I'm naturally the curvy type and I'm more concerned with feeling fit and healthy than looking super slim.''
