Stella Tennant says she would not be happy if her children became models like her - because the industry is “the most fickle thing ever”.

Tennant, 45, and husband David Lasnet have four children - Marcel, 17, Cecily, 15, Jasmine, 13, and Iris, 11.

In 2010 Cecily and Jasmine joined Tennant for an H&M Christmas campaign.

But asked about her children working as models, she told ES Magazine: “No. I’m very much discouraging them from pursuing ideas of modelling."
