“Everyone keeps saying ‘you’re opening for Liam Payne,’” she said, referring to the One Direction’s singer’s free concert at Royal Randwick, “and I’m like ‘yeah, I like that,’ I’ll take it.”

As for her tips on the Everest runners: “Redzel is my pick because red has been my favourite colour.

“I’ve had the most luck looking at the horse names and picking one I most identify with.”

Cairns-born Holland is a former Miss World Australia, beating 32 finalists to the title in July 2013 when she was 24.
