Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel revealed she was bullied at school for her small frame. Now, she poses in a hot shoot for GQ UK for some sweet revenge.

The 23-year-old gorgeous blonde said that modeling was her perfect revenge for all those who bullied her at school. While she struts her stuff ranging from beachwear to lingerie for the shoot, she revealed that she felt like an outsider while growing up in South America. She was later discovered in 2003 at age 15 at a Durban flea market.

"A year before I got scouted, I would watch a lot of FashionTV. At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me," the Victoria's Secret model said.

"I would say to my mom 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV'. A year later, someone took me to an agency and that's it," she added.

Candice confessed that although revenge is not right, it felt good to show people who taunted her what she has earned from all her hard work.

"I put all my eggs in one basket when I left South Africa. I put my head down and worked my ass off. And look where it got me," she said. She has been in a relationship with boyfriend Hermann Nicoli since age 17. The model also revealed a quirk she does to cheer herself up.

"Whenever you feel down, you can check on Twitter and feel better about yourself, because it's only people who like you," Swanepoel said.
