Thousands of entrants were whittled down to the top 28, who strutted and posed their way to a place at the Top Model Boot Camp.

The judges then had the difficult task of deciding upon the top 14 girls, who were to make it into the Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model house to live during the competition.

With finalists ranging from a former Miss Ireland and a hostess at infamous London nightclub The Box, to a criminology student and a trainee hairdresser, this series looks set to have plenty of tears and tantrums.

This Summer series on Sky Living HD sees Jade Parfitt, Louis Smith and Jourdan Dunn all help the girls undertake numerous challenges, ranging from underwater shoots, to nude shoots and even a high fashion gymnastics challenge.

The girls are not just battling it out to win the title of Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model, they are also eyeing up a plethora of amazing prizes. Along with the title, the winning model will receive a co ntract with leading modelling agency Models 1, a cover and feature within Company Magazine, national campaigns with both make-up brand Revlon and hair-care brand TRESemmé, and finally a shopping spree to the stylish city of New York.

Meanwhile Dannii is now back in Australia and is working on The X Factor in Australia alongside Ronan Keating.
