The two beauty queens got to know each other during the event's sashing ceremony and spent time together afterwards, with Nadia explaining that she was 'very different' to how she is now. 

 'We hung out; she was really approachable; she was just really cool,' Nadia said of the spokesmodel.

'When someone says "under the knife" I don’t have a reaction. Everyone in the industry gets that. That’s fine. I’m cool with that,' Jennifer said.

'I’m cool with people having an opinion, but as I said, I am happy with who I am as a person and really just want to live my life. I can’t live my life around what other people say. They just don’t get me, that’s how I take it.'
