SHE is the secret cousin of two of the world's biggest supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid.
And Dutch-born Joann van den Herik looks set to give her relatives a run for their money on the catwalk after signing up to a plus-size modelling agency.

In the caption of the unfiltered snap, she wrote: "I wanted to show you guys that I'm imperfect too. I have fatrolls, I have stretch marks.
"It's so easy to look in the mirror and feel disgusted by the things you don't like, but I don't want to do that anymore.
"I don't wanna hide my "ugly" side, I want to show it more often, because I've accepted it."
However, in a , Joann admitted it took her a long time to feel confident about her body.
She explained: "I've been feeling bad about myself for a long time. This isn't how it's supposed to be.
"Girls and boys are not supposed to feel this way. You have to wear what you like, you have to eat what you want. If you love yourself it doesn't matter what other people think."
In her other social media posts, she also praises her famous cousins for their modelling success.
But the trio aren't the only members of the Hadid family involved in the fashion industry.
