Australia's Next Top Model star Liz Braithwaite has revealed that she is still with her boyfriend.

The 18-year-old from Brisbane, who came second in the reality television show after Montana Cox, said that she decided to take back 18-year-old boyfriend Jack Bridges despite the fact that he cheated on her while she was filming the show.

Braithwaite told the Herald Sun: "We are still together. He cheated on me when I was on the show, but I say forgive and forget sometimes."

Since Australia's Next Top Model finished, Braithwaite has signed a contract with G-Star Raw and is scheduled to model at its Chapel Street store tomorrow (October 28).

Cox is due to fly out of Australia to build up her international modelling portfolio. After the winner of Australia's Next Top Model was announced, she said: "I feel incredible. I feel really out of this world. I definitely want to head straight to New York to pursue my modelling career and to thank my Melbourne fans."

Australia's Next Top Model 2009 runner-up Cassi Van Den Dungen initially turned her back on a lucrative international modelling career in favour of staying with her bricklayer boyfriend in Melbourne.

She later revealed that she was "ready" for global stardom and moved to Paris to pursue more modelling jobs.
