Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel has found her curves again.

The 22-year-old South African model has regained her curvy figure in the lingerie company's new campaign, after being photographed in March looking skinny, reported London's Mail on Sunday.

Swanepoel - who was 10th on the Forbes World's Top-Earning Models list with estimated earnings of R20-million - looked painfully thin next to fellow models Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima.

Her look caused controversy for the famous underwear brand - for whom curvier models Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks have worked.

Swanepoel told US television's ABC news in an interview that she finds it difficult to keep the weight on because she has a busy work schedule.

''I've been travelling around like crazy. I get skinnier if I'm very busy," she said.

Spotted by a model scout at the age of 15 at a flea market in Durban, she is now a famous international model.
