Joel Ryan/Invision/APLindsay Ellingson may be an Angel, but she's got her quirks just like every other mortal.
The Victoria's Secret Angel crushed the catwalk in London last week, looking every inch her heavenly title in gilded golden wings. But the 30-year-old supermodel, who's lent her gorgeous face to the likes of Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino, is much more than a pretty face—she's downright funny!
The Angel's dealt with her fair share of awkward first dates, and you'll never guess what bizarre phobia keeps her away from certain smooth surfaces. Read on to find out five facts you'd never know about Ellingson, and tune into CBS tomorrow night to watch her and the rest of the Angels walk the Victoria's Secret fashion show!
1. "The worst date I've ever been on was when my hair caught on fire as I was leaning over to whisper something into a guy's ear. He was incredibly embarrassed by the smell of burning hair filling the room and rushed us out of the restaurant."
2. "One funny moment at Sean and mine's wedding was when we attempted 'the move' from Dirty Dancing at the reception: it was a total fail but hilarious!"
3. "I'm so excited to announce I'll be launching a cosmetic line called Wander Beauty next April! I've learned so much in the last 10 years as a model, and am obsessed with beauty products. My friends call me the walking Sephora because I carry such a variety of beauty products in my purse, they can always count on me for a touch up. I love doing their makeup as well as my own for red carpet events and dates. Follow us on Instagram, @Wander_Beauty! "
4. "I have a very weird phobia of velvet! I think it's called haptodysphoria. I absolutely can't touch it. My worst nightmare would be sleeping in a bed of velvet; it makes me nauseous!"
5. "If I could switch lives with any celebrity for a day it would have to be Ariana Grande! I am the worst singer, so I would love to have a voice like that. She blew me away at the Victoria's Secret show. Plus, having backup dancers would be pretty awesome!"
