Model Bootcamp - a huge success!
The ten finalists - including our final two winners - were put through their paces by catwalk queen Jade Parfitt at our Model Bootcamp on 22nd July at Gatwick airport. Jade taught them how to pound the catwalk, strike a pose and stand out in a crowd. They also had the chance to gain pearls of wisdom from the modelling expert during a Q&A session
Model Bootcamp was the last opportunity for our finalists to wow the judges. On the day Tessa and David showed their true model potential and were picked as the final winners.
