Penthouse Pet in the big house until 2019

A former Penthouse Pet will be in the "big house" until at least 2019 after being sentenced for her role in an ice-smuggling racket.

Simone Farrow, 41, was sentenced to at least six-and-a-half years in jail for helping to bring the drug ice into Australia concealed in bath products.

A Sydney District Court judge ruled the former model played a principal role in the delivery of 740g of pure methamphetamine in packages from the US before her arrest in October 2009.

With time served, Farrow will be eligible for parole in February 2019.
