Cat said: 'This is one of the most intense, yet exciting shoots I have ever done.
'I was lucky to have my stylist Peter Lux in the tank with me to make me feel at ease, and to help move my hair around so I could concentrate on breathing and ultimately striking the right pose!
'I’ve never done anything like this before!  It was such a new and exciting experience.  Peter jumped in as well to help with the ‘swishing’ of the hair in the water.  It made the whole experience really fun and enjoyable. 
'We wanted to show hair at its most weightless form, so what better way to do that than going underwater!  I went in with a professional diving team and they all made me feel at ease.  Once I got the hang of it, I didn’t want to get out!'

In an angry letter, published in Le Journal du Dimanche newspaper, Mr Depardieu said he had been 'insulted' by France's Prime Minister Mr Ayrault who called him pathetic for wanting to leave France for Belgium to avoid the new 75 per cent top rate of tax.
Mr Depardieu wrote: 'I was born in 1948.
'I started working aged 14, as a printer, as a warehouseman, then as an actor, and I’ve always paid my taxes.'

Over 45 years, Depardieu said, he had paid 145 million euros in tax, and to this day employs 80 people.
Last year he paid taxes amounting to 85 per cent of his income.
'I am neither worthy of pity nor admirable, but I shall not be called 'pathetic’,' he concluded, saying that he was sending back his French passport.
Easy does it! Gerard arrives in Italy, bit will it be a short break or is he en route to Belgium?

Under French President François Hollande’s tough new budget measures to tackle a €37million deficit, France will tax income over €1million at 75 per cent of January 1.
The Belgian Foreign Minister has given carte blanche to anyone planning to follow in Gerard Depardieu's footsteps and move to Belgium in an attempt to escape higher French taxes.
'If other French people want to come to Belgium, I'm not at all opposed,' Didier Reynders said in an interview with Le Figaro.
