Gigi Hadid might look the picture of perfection and poise as she poses in her bikini for Sports Illustrated , but she enjoys every second of her work backstage – and even a HORSE has shown its appreciation.

We’ve been shown a completely different side to the stunning 19-year-old in a new outtakes video from one of her beach shoots, as she frolics in the waves and laughs with her crew.

From stripping off and blowing flowers at the camera, to lying back in the waves, the blonde beauty looks relaxed and in her element in front of the cameras.

But possibly the best moment of the shoot came when a horse she was posing with walked up behind her, and lifted its nose to her back, pulling off her bikini top.

Yes, really.

The stunner couldn’t contain her laughter as one of her crew rushed to do it back up again, before she went on to pose some more with the lucky animal.

The star goes on to play hide and seek with the camera, and even poses up with lucky fans as she blows kisses everywhere, all the time showing off her enviable figure in a range of colourful two-pieces.

Gigi was recently named as the new face of Maybelline.

The teen star, who is BFFs with Kendall Jenner and whose mother is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster, said she was “at a loss for words” over the news.

The 19-year-old said: “I’m so beyond honored & excited (at a loss for words, really) to be the new face of @Maybelline!

“Thank you so much to my team at @imgmodels @luizmattos1906 for believing in me and helping make this happen, and to the whole #MaybellineNewYork team for being so welcoming; it’s such a dream some true to be part of this family.”
