BINTM - The Final 14


Here's your guide to getting to know the final 14...

Abigail Johns

Hometown - Exeter/London
Height - 5ft 10 1/2
Dress Size - 8
Bra Size - 32D
Favourite Feature - Hair
Worst Feature - Feet
Aspiring actress Abi is a student and part time hostess at infamous London nightclub ‘The Box’. Originally from Exeter, 19 year-old Abi recently moved to London to study drama at Guildhall. Despite having no modelling experience Abi thinks that her wise and positive outlook on life will make her stand out from the other girls. She describes her style as “Daisy Duke mixed with London hip hop” and lists Megan Fox as her style icon. Her dream shoot would be a bikini shoot on a gorgeous beach, but her nightmare shoot is anything involving eels.

Angel Mbonu

Hometown - Middlesex
Height - 5ft 9 1/2
Dress Size - Top Half 4-6, Bottom Half 6-8
Bra Size - 30B
Favourite Feature - Eyes
Worst Feature - Feet and her 'man hands'
17-year-old Angel from Middlesex currently works as a model at Abercrombie & Fitch. She has very limited experience of modelling but has watched, and wanted to apply for, Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model since it began. Fashion is very important to Angel as she tries to reflect her personality in what she wears. She describes her style as quirky and lists Roberto Cavalli, Dior and Gucci as her favourite designers. Angel would use the word ‘crazy’ to sum herself up and claims her ideal evening would be hanging out with either Spongebob Squarepants or Ed Miliband. Her dream shoot would be something with dolphins, seahorses or attempting to walk on water. Her phobia of moths means that a shoot involving them would be a nightmare for her. 

Christina Chalk

Hometown - Dunblane
Height - 5ft 8
Dress Size - 8
Bra Size - 32B
Favourite Feature - Hair
Worst Feature - Hands
Pharmacology student Christina grew up in Dunblane after moving over from the Philippines at the age of two. She currently lives with university friends in a student house in Glasgow. Introduced to the world of modelling when she saw her cousin modelling in a fashion show, Christina once won the ‘Scotland’s New Face’ competition, winning the chance to meet and interview Hollywood actor Gerard Butler who asked for her number! While she doesn’t follow fashion particularly closely, Christina lists Zara as her favourite brand and BeyoncĂ© as her favourite model

Danielle Sandhu

Hometown - Retford
Height - 5ft 9
Dress Size - 8
Bra Size - 32D
Favourite Feature - Stomach
Worst Feature - Feet
Danielle is currently living in Retford with her family while she studies for a criminology degree at Lincoln University. Drawn to modelling because she likes the idea of getting into character, Danielle doesn’t have any significant experience although she has done some promotional work for Formula One. This is not Danielle’s first time in the competition having reached boot camp two years ago, where Elle said that she saw something in her. A keen footballer and boxer (like her role model Adriana Lima), Danielle thinks her athleticism will make her stand out from the competition. Additionally, the 20-year-old believes that her ethnicity (she is half Indian) means that there is an element of mystery surrounding her, which she hopes will give her an advantage.

Emily Garner

Hometown - Chelmsford
Height - 5ft 8
Dress Size - 8
Bra Size - 30C
Favourite Feature - Eyes
Worst Feature - Hands
18-year-old Emily lives at home with her parents in Chelmsford while working as an apprentice hairdresser in Toni & Guy. A former Army Cadet, Emily earned the nicknames ‘posh totty’ and ‘combat Barbie’. Sadly her dream of becoming a combat medic was scuppered when she found out she had asthma. Emily is really enjoying her apprenticeship at Toni & Guy, and should she not be successful as a model, she would like to style hair for photo shoots as it would allow her to incorporate both her passions. She terms her style as ‘pretty rock’ or a less extreme version of Pink, and states that her dream photo shoot would be in the air on the wing of a plane. At 5ft 8 Emily is the shortest girl in the competition but she takes inspiration from shorter models like Kate Moss.  

Emma Ward

Hometown - Leeds
Height - 5ft 10
Dress Size - 32B
Favourite Feature - Lips
Worst Feature - Stomach
HSBC call centre worker Emma lives at home with her family in Leeds. The 20 year-old has dreamt of being a model for the past seven years and has applied to the show previously. On that occasion she was too nervous but Julian told her to audition next year. Openly fashion conscious Emma lists Mango and Zara as her favourite shops, Roberto Cavalli as her favourite designer and Daphne Groeneveld as her favourite model. Her dream photo shoot would be in the arctic, but she is fearful of anything involving cockroaches or creepy crawlies. 

Holly Carpenter

Hometown - Dublin
Height - 5ft 9
Dress Size - 8-10
Bra Size - 34B
Favourite Feature - Lips/Mouth/Smile
Worst Feature - Thighs
A former Miss Ireland, 21-year-old Dubliner Holly is already something of a household name and our most experienced finalist. The girlfriend of Irish rugby player Cian Healy, Holly has completed a number of campaigns, fashion shows and photo shoots and is currently the face of skincare brand Green Angel. Viewing modelling as a fun career the idea of being transformed every day appeals to Holly, who aspires to be a Victoria’s Secret model. Describing her style as ‘girly with a bit of a rock edge’, Holly lists Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Michael Kors as her favourite designers, and Kate Moss as her daytime style icon, with Angelina Jolie her nightwear icon.

Height - 5ft 9

The 20-year-old has been modelling for four years, and has appeared in shoots for Harvey Nichols, Kiss Magazine and Irish Life Insurance. She finds modelling liberating, but if it doesn’t work out for her she will pursue a career as an animator.  The taekwondo black belt describes her style as ‘hobo chic’ and lists Alexa Chung as her fashion icon, Cara Delevigne as her favourite model and Alexander McQueen as her favourite designer. Her dream photo shoot would be something quite dark and eerie, but her nightmare shoot would be bridal. 

Laura Young

Hometown - Malvern
Height - 5ft 9
Dress Size - 8/10
Bra Size - 34C
Favourite Feature - Lips
Worst Feature - Hands
Originally from Guildford, 19-year-old Laura has lived in Malvern since the age of six. Currently studying for A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Art, Laura also works at a club at weekends. Laura has applied to agencies previously that have told her that she should either lose weight, or try plus-size modelling. She has applied to the series as a way to by-pass this. Despite having limited experience she has been involved in charity catwalks for boutique shops in Malvern and found that modelling came naturally to her. She describes her boyish style as ‘wacky and out there’ and lists Kate Moss as her favourite model. Her dream photo shoot would be in Africa interacting with a lion or a tiger, but she would dread anything underwater. 

Lauren Lambert

Hometown - Wallington
Height - 6ft 2
Dress Size - Top Half 6/8, Bottom Half 8/10
Bra Size - 34B

Lauren grew up in St Lucia but moved to London at the age of ten. She now lives in a one bedroom flat in Wallington, Surrey with her younger sister and her nephew. Currently unemployed, the 23-year-old spends her days applying for jobs, looking after her nephew and sending photos to agencies (with no response). Her model inspirations are Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, and her favourite designers are Chanel, Versace and Louis Vuitton but she describes her own style as down to earth. Her dream shoot would be on safari or underwater because she is a very competent swimmer but a naked shoot would be a nightmare.

Naomi Pelkiewicz

Hometown - Bristol
Height - 5ft 11
Dress Size - 8/10
Bra Size - 34B
Favourite Feature - Lips
Worst Feature - Nose/Eyelashes
Music graduate Naomi lives in Bristol with her mum and sister. The 22-year-old has been scouted by agencies on a couple of occasions but states that she has always been a bit scared of modelling. Her experience is limited but she has reached the boot camp stages of the series before, and also appeared in the Example video ‘Won’t Go Quietly’. Naomi lists Alexa Chung as her style icon, Chanel as her favourite designer and Karolina Kurkova as her favourite model. She describes her own style as chic, and her dream shoot would be to model a ‘chic’ couture dress in a mansion. 

Saffron Williams

Hometown - Batley
Height - 5ft 9
Dress Size - 10
Bra Size - 32C
Favourite Feature - Smile/Legs
Worst Feature - Nose/Stomach
19-year-old Saffron, who currently lives in Batley with her family, only heard about the auditions for the show the day before they took place. Modelling is her dream, but if this does not work out she would like to travel to a third world country and teach under privileged children. Saffron only has limited modelling experience but believes she has what it takes due to her confidence, unique look, figure and height. Her style is dresses with trainers, and her model inspiration is Adriana Lima. 

Sarah Kennedy

Height - 5ft 8 1/2
Dress Size - Top Half 6, Bottom Half 8

A keen Irish dancer, footballer and keyboard player, 22-year-old Sarah describes herself as independent, fiery and ‘up for the craic’. Her style is chic and glamorous, her style icon is Kate Middleton and her favourite designer is Alexander McQueen. Her dream photo shoot would be anything in an exotic location but she would hate anything with bugs or snake.

Sophie Ellson

Hometown - Southbourne
Height - 5ft 11 1/2
Dress Size - 8/10
Bra Size - 34B
Favourite Feature - Legs
Worst Feature - Ears
Sophie is an A-level student working part time in Topshop while living with her family in Southbourne. Sophie dreams of modelling because every day would be so varied.  She would love to travel the world and wake up every morning to have her look completely transformed. She has limited modelling experience and was with an agency in Bournemouth through which she took part in a couple of fashion shows and a shoot at her local beach. She has always wanted to apply for the series but never felt that the timing was right. Her fashion is mainly influenced by Tophsop and she lists Kate Middleton as her style icon. Her dream shoot would be 60’s influenced but she dreads anything involving food being poured on her. Sophie is also a keen sportswoman and musician, having achieved grade five in both the piano and cello.
