I am a 28-year old fashion model/burlesque dancer/master's student/healthcare worker from Bristol, who lives in Cardiff! I've been modelling for 8 years now and in that time have met many amazing people and had some brilliant experiences, including modelling for Cardiff Fashion Week!

I think it's amazing that a TV programme wants to promote different kinds of beauty, rather than the 'cover-model' look which is still dominating today's modelling industry.. it's a very refreshing and positive approach!

As someone who's been always told I'm too curvy to be a fashion model, or to be successful in the modelling world, and as someone who's never fit in to the aesthetically-pleasing girly-girl archetype of attractive, as a result of that I've never had a lot of confidence in my appearance, or the way I look, and so applying to this TV show really appealed to me. It would mean a lot to me to be able to represent a different kind of beauty, and to be the kind of woman that other people look up to, someone who can show people that even if you've been bullied for your appearance, or suffered from a lack of self-esteem that you can still achieve amazing things and don't need to be held back by negative comments
