Heidi Ballinger reckons she wants to try pole-dancing, for a work-out of course.

Can you explain your relationship with the horse in the photo?
At first it was a little scary because... well, it was a horse. But after a while I was able to control him and he became calmer and gentler. It's only about the second time I've been around a horse.

Would you really ride a horse wearing only bikini bottoms?
No, not usually. I'm not usually an equestrian; it was a one-off occasion.

Give us the Heidi story in 25 words or less.
I finished school in 2004 and since then I've just been at uni studying biomedical science.

Do you look hot in one of those white a lab coats?
Yeah, I do, actually. But now I've reversed my degree to a bachelor of journalism focusing on international studies — focusing on Austria, specifically, because that's where my family are from.

Have you been there?
I haven't as yet. All I know is Austrian women are famous for pigtails and plaits... or is that the Swiss?

Do you get about in that look?
Sometimes, when I'm at work and I'm trying to be cute, but it makes me look pretty young. I've got this bush of hair that's my trademark.

You're big into dancing, right?
I've been dancing since I was two and I do jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop — all the dancing styles. I haven't tried pole-dancing yet, but I want to just for the work-out. Look at Carmen Electra; she did that video and she's got a hot body.

When was the last time you took a risk?
I tried to learn to surf with my dad. We were out the back just paddling around then he suddenly says, "Here's a wave, take this one!" By the time I got on it, it was seven-foot, my nose dug in, the board snapped in half and I rolled into the sand. That was the first wave I ever caught.

Tell us a funny story.
I work behind the bar at a club and after about three weeks there you get used to the abruptness of drunk men. But this one guy came up and after he ordered I asked, "Anything else?" and he said, "Can I smell your undies?" I yelled "Security!" and squirted him with the Coke dispenser. Get away from my bar, you disgusting old man!
