Since finding fame, Ruby now travels the world; flying to Miami and Dubai on jobs and working with the likes of JD Sports and Boohoo, making thousands of pounds every week.
As previously reported, Ruby who once worked in a burger van, also recently starred in BBC Three's Models: Street To Catwalk.
Speaking to the ECHO in 2020, Ruby explained at one time in her life, she wasn't in such a glamorous profession.
She said: "Before modelling I was working three jobs to keep me afloat, I worked in a hotel, restaurant and a burger van.
"I was always interested in fashion and since I was a baby everyone was always telling me to model, but nerves always kicked in."
But one day, a university friend asked Ruby to help him with a project - going along with it, Ruby could never have imagined this would be the moment her life changed.
She continued: "My friend had just started a swimsuit business and asked as a favour if I would pose in some of his swimsuits on Southport beach.
"After the shoot, I posted a couple of pictures on my Instagram, I’d never really put body shots on there before.
"Nemesis modelling agency spotted the photos and approached me."
Ruby's boyfriend Josh featured in the 2018 series of Love Island, and now works as a sports presenter.
