Chrissy Teigen hates the beach.

The 'Sports Illustrated' model recently enjoyed a ''beautiful'' vacation with her husband John Legend - who she wed in 2013 - and her mother Vilailuck in St. Bart's but has admitted she dislikes the sea and sand and thinks the ocean is like a ''giant bathtub''.

She said: ''It was beautiful just to get away for a bit. And cook every day. And we bought my mum out; she kind of goes everywhere with us... She lives with us.

''I hate the beach. I think sand is filthy. To me, the ocean is like a giant bathtub and it just makes me uncomfortable. It's like the Earth's juices ... I don't love it.''

Chrissy also admitted she finds she can't relax on the beach with her family because of the lurking paparazzi.

She added: ''That's why you can't go to a nude beach. It can get you into some trouble sometimes.

''You can't really hang out, be yourself because you're kind of worried people are zooming in on something flabby or weird.''

Whilst there was no chance of Chrissy getting some rest and relaxation on the beach, things were different for her husband, who she revealed can snooze anywhere.

Speaking on Live! With Kelly and Michael, she shared: ''[He falls asleep] absolutely everywhere. Everywhere. He could fall asleep on a rollercoaster.''

When asked if she calls him up on it, she joked: ''Yes, all day. When someone's that good at everything, you kind of have to knock them when you can. We can't do anything. I can't take him anywhere. Maybe [he] falls asleep just to get away from me for a bit.''
