Alexa Chung fantasises about trampling tiny dogs.

The British model-turned-TV presenter has revealed she wants to "accidentally step on" her neighbours' small canines to check they are not stuffed toys.

She said: "A lot of the people in my building own very small dogs, the kind of size that makes me feel nervous I might step on them accidentally but also the kind of size that makes me want to step on them accidentally just to see whether they're real or not."

Sharing an apartment block with dozens of pint-sized puppies might sound ideal, but Alexa says some of the mutts are far from adorable.

The 25-year-old beauty added to Britain's Independent Life supplement: "One particularly stocky specimen appears to have a face designed to perfectly express its hatred towards me. I think she's called Betty.

"I met Betty on my journey to the junk shop in the basement of our building. There I purchased a pale blue velvet chair that my friend was adamant was full of bed bugs.

"I decided to take the gamble and buy it anyway. Now I'm left wondering what will bite me first - the dog or the chair?"
