And one year after winning the Channel Seven reality show, Chad Hurst was back to work as a model on Thursday.

Leaning on the edge of a boxing ring, the hunky star flaunted his ripped physique wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts and sneakers.

Chad carried an oversized fragrance bottle in one hand, and was handed McDonald's fries by fellow model Daniel Brown in the other.

'Mythbusters. Models do eat,' someone cheekily captioned the footage which was reposted by Chad.
