Megan Gale has announced her return to the stage.
The 49-year-old Australian model has renewed her contract as an ambassador for David Jones, marking her triumphant return to the iconic department store.
Gale, who first signed with David Jones in 2001 and held the role until 2013, has rejoined the brand on a multi-year deal.
This comes after Gale celebrated the store’s 185th anniversary in March.
“It was lovely to be approached and invited back, I think it’s perfect timing too,” Megan said. The Herald of the Sun on Sunday.
‘It was perfect timing when we went on hiatus and it gave me a really lovely opportunity to take on a new role as a mother and dive into that, but it’s been a decade now since we went on hiatus and I had always hoped that there might be some sort of scope to work together in the future.
While the term “supermodel” is often associated with Gale, the mother of two insists she’s more of a “super mom” these days.
Engaged to former Richmond footballer Shaun Hampson, Megan is looking to balance the demands of motherhood with her return to the fashion world.

“It’s an amazing compliment, but I can’t help but laugh because I don’t think it applies to me,” Gale said, downplaying her supermodel status.
“I think my favorite thing about myself is the way I organize my kids’ activities and remember that I have to sign them both up for basketball because today is the deadline to sign them up, and I have to take them to swimming, ballet and gymnastics, and it’s someone’s birthday so I have to run out and buy a gift. So I consider myself great.”
