She explained: "They lasted a month and were beautiful even as they died. Raffaello always liked things fancier and perfect and told our maid to throw them out. That was when I knew we saw things differently."

The 26-year-old star says her break-up from the Italian businessman - who is now serving four years in prison for conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering - was not "dramatic."

She added: "I was a 21-year-old kid when I met him. It wasn't a huge, dramatic break-up. We were in the process of winding it down when he was arrested. I don't talk about this, except when I'm asked. It's not a part of my life anymore. It's a complicated situation that has the ability to define me in ways I am not comfortable with."

Despite recently being linked with actor Adam Shulman, Anne admits the thought of dating someone else is strange.

While trying on a dress for a photo shoot with Vogue magazine, she exclaimed: "I can go on a date in this. Oh, my God. That's such a weird thought!"
