Rosie said of the shoot: ‘The weather wasn't amazing. It was very windy but we made it work and it was a lot of fun.

The model has been dating actor Jason Statham, 45, for over two years.

On being asked about rumours that he is set to propose, Rosie told the Sydney Morning Herald: ‘I woke up to those stories….I don't pay any attention to them.

However she coyly added: ‘But it would be exciting.’

The film is called I Give It A Year, and it has almost taken as long for it to see a North American release, having hit the cinemas in the UK back in February.

In it, Rose, 34, plays an ambitious high-flyer called Nat who falls in love with a struggling writer played by Rafe Spall.

Speaking about her role in I Give It A Year, Rose said: ‘What’s really happened with this film is that Dan has subverted the romantic comedy so that it plays in reverse.'

‘Rafe and I have just got married, but we’ve got together for the wrong reasons.'

'My character is glossy and sophisticated and she is looking for stability, which she finds in Rafe’s character, but he’s not the one for her and vice versa.’

He's rarely seen without a cigarette in his hand on a night out.

And now Simon Cowell has revealed just how much he loves his nicotine sticks in a tell-all interview on Chelsea Lately on Tuesday night.

The 53-year-old music mogul insisted that smoking was 'associated with nice things' during the chat with host Chelsea Handler, who immediately shot back, 'Like sex?'

Cowell then replied: 'Completely. And in fact sometimes while I'm having sex, I'm actually thinking I want to hurry up and finish so I can have a cigarette!'

Chelsea then told a shrugging Cowell: 'That's a wonderful thing you might want to think about sharing with your next victim!'

During the interview, Cowell added that he has been on a health kick over the past few months.

He said: 'I had to go on a health kick because I have to balance smoking and drinking, which I do like. And then on the other side I exercise and then I have vitamin shots.

'Like last night for example, I had a litre of injections being poured into me through a drip and at the same time I was having a couple of vodka and sodas. So it kind of makes it bearable!'

Cowell was on Chelsea Lately to promote the upcoming return of The X Factor USA in September, but admitted that he often finds the process of searching for the next big thing more than a little gruelling.

When Chelsea asked Cowel if the array of 'untalented people' who audition for the show cause him to have 'a drinking and drug and cigarette problem?', he replied: 'Probably, yes!'

He added: 'It is total, utter torture sitting there for 10 hours a day trying to find one good person. And you've got all these awful singers coming out... "Why are you here?" and they're like, "I'm blessed," and you're like,"You're not. You're really, really not." '

Undoubtedly one of the most successful acts ever to find fame on The X Factor is boyband One Direction, who auditioned as solo artists before they were put into a group.

No holds barred: Cowell also revealed he has been on a health kick in recent weeks, and relies on vitamin injections and hits from an oxygen tank

On the origination of 1D, made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, Cowell said: 'I liked them all individually, but for whatever reason, nerves or whatever, they didn't make it through to the next round. But I liked these boys and I thought you know what, let's give them another shot.

'They'd never met each other before, they had 10 days to do the next performance and when I saw them 10 days later, they were amazing.

'But with these five, you can't tell them what to do. They just do whatever they want. They make all their own decisions.'

Mentor: Cowell with One Direction on The X Factor back in 2010

Cowell's appearance on the hit US chat show comes ahead of the release of the One Direction movie This Is Us - due for release next month.

And talking about the film, which follows the five-piece as they embark on their world tour, Cowell added: 'The movie - if you're interested what it's like to be in a band, what it's like, you see everything on this film. It's really, really good.'

On Wednesday – the day after the interview aired - it emerged that Simon Cowell is expecting a baby with married New York socialite Lauren Silverman.

A close friend of X Factor multimillionaire Cowell confirmed the news to MailOnline and said that Lauren, 36, who is married to real estate mogul Andrew Silverman, said just a few weeks ago that she wants to marry the star.

The couple, who have a son together, have been long friends with Cowell enjoying several holidays together over the past four years.

But it wasn't until Lauren, who is now believed to about 10 weeks pregnant, and Andrew ended their relationship that around a year ago her friendship with Cowell turned to romance.

The X Factor USA returns for a new season on September 11th. One Direction: This Is Us will hit UK cinemas on 29th August and in the US on 30th August.
