" Gemma Ward has decided to quit her modelling career after being criticised for gaining weight. The model, who disappeared from the fashion industry after her rumoured boyfriend Heath Ledger&amp;#039;s death last year, was recently subjected to attacks on an international fashion website for having a fuller figure. A spokesperson for Ward&amp;#039;s modelling agency told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph: &amp;quot;Gemma hasn&amp;#039;t committed to returning modelling at any time soon.&amp;quot; Ward was pictured last week celebrating her 22nd birthday in New York with Sports Illustrated swimwear model Jessica Gomes.
