BLOCK beauty Elyse Knowles says she is living the dream and has “goosebumps” after swapping bricklaying for beachwear.
Knowles, who won last year’s renovation reality show with boyfriend Josh Barker, has become the new face of Seafolly.
She joins the likes of Miranda Kerr, Shanina Shaik, Jess Hart and Gigi Hadid to show off the iconic Australian brand.
And she has revealed that as a girl being a Seafolly model was her dream job — rather than remodelling real estate.
“All my idols who I have ever looked up to have all been the face of Seafolly,” Knowles told The Saturday Telegraph.
“I used to stand in the store and wish that one day it could be me and now it is my time and I have goosebumps talking about it.
“So to tick this one off my list was a really big accomplishment.”
Knowles’ smoking-hot campaign will hit the domestic and global market today, with the images making an appearance in more than 20 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia and America.

The sizzling snaps were taken on Bondi Beach last month, with Knowles ensuring she was at the top of her game for the career-changing shoot.
“It was a big lead-up for me,” she said. “I took a lot of time to train for this job because I wanted to be my absolute best and confident and to shine with happiness because it was such a big job for me and has been a dream for so long.
“When I was training I kept saying the word ‘Seafolly’ in my head just to get me through.
“I knew I wanted it so badly.“
