What's the secret to Gigi Hadid's enviable physique? Burgers, apparently.

In her debut appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, the supermodel explained that she lives 'religiously' by the mantra 'Eat clean to stay fit, eat a burger to stay sane.'

She also revealed that upon moving to New York City, she made it her mission to eat a different burger every week for a year, in a quest to find her perfect cheat meal. Her findings? 'The best is JG Melon's,' she told her host. 'It's so simple. They don't try too hard [...] I had it for dinner last night.'

A cursory Google shows that Gigi's favourite eating spot can be found on New York's Upper East Side (prime Gossip Girl territory), and receives a solid four stars on TripAdvisor.

Gigi then proceeded to tuck into a burger on air - but only after checking for any rogue tomatoes, which the model explained she 'doesn't do.' Her love of burgers has previously helped her to win the Masterchef crown, after cooking up her signature version for Gordon Ramsay.

The 21-year-old also revealed that she celebrated her recent birthday in Las Vegas with boyfriend Zayn Malik - who taught her how to gamble...

'My boyfriend taught me how to play poker the night before we went to Vegas so I won $400… on a $15 poker table, I thought that was pretty good,' she explained before correcting herself. 'Sorry, it was blackjack. I'm so nervous I got the wrong game.' Nerves or no nerves, it's fair to say that Gigi handled her talk show appearance like a true pro.
