Britains Next Top Model - And The Winner Is...

17-11-2005 00:00

After all the hard work, photo shoots, catwalks, bitching and backstabbing, the stunning ex-barmaid Lucy beat off competition from fellow finalists Edwina and Jenilee to be crowned the very first Britains Next Top Model.

Before the winner was announced the remaining three girls met with mentor Lisa for a celebratory drink. Lisa told them she was proud of them all and gave them a beautiful watch as congratulations present.

That next day the girls had their very last photo shoot with three gorgeous male models, in the nude. All the girls did excellent and took beautiful shots, which made it even harder for the judges to decide on the 10th cut the next day.

Although the judges were all very proud of the girls it was little Jenilee who was eliminated, with the judges believing that while she took some great photos she didn't quite have what it takes to be a top model.

The next day Edwina and Lucy are given some free time to explore Milan before a surprise meeting with Lisa in a restaurant. Lisa tells them she wants to show them something special. She then takes the girls to the Armani store. Once there Lisa gives Edwina and Lucy an outfit to wear and tells them to do a walk. Lisa then announces that they will be taking part in a real catwalk show for the Armani spring/summer collection the next night. The girls can't believe it and spend the rest of the night trying to perfect their walks.

The following day Lisa takes the girls to where the catwalk will happen. She then takes Lucy and Edwina outside and helps them with their walk. Later judge Marie Helvin arrives and also gives them some tips. Edwina and Lucy then see their clothes, meet the other models and see the seating plan for the night, which, according to Lucy, includes 'everyone they have ever met during the competition.'

Backstage as the girls prepare to walk in their first ever catwalk show, the nerves really start to show. Both girls perform well, which is quite hard when you have three judges shouting and clapping for you in the audience. While Lucy looked a little uncomfortable, self-confessed queen of the catwalk, Edwina was angry at herself for forgetting to pose at the end of the catwalk.
