When asked if she was fluent in Hebrew, Isla laughed and said: "That would be pushing it! I know a bit, I know a bit."

Isla, who was raised as a Methodist Christian, has been given the Hebrew name Ayala or 'Doe'.

She said recently: "I converted two years ago. It is always reported that I am still studying, so I am either the slowest studier in the world, or I have, in fact, converted.

"I think if one wanted to be buried next to one's beloved and they were Jewish, then one would have to be Jewish, too."

The 33-year-old Australian beauty agreed to follow Judaism so she can marry Sacha in a traditional ceremony and she insists is pleased with her decision.

Isla - who has a 15-month-old daughter, Olive, with Sacha - said: "I love religions and find them fascinating and I find Judaism very beautiful. It has enriched my life enormously."
