Britain's Missing Top Model
Copyright BBC / Love Productions / Christopher SimmsCongratulations to local girl Kelly Knox, who has won the competition to become ‘Britian’s Missing Top Model’. Over the past six weeks BBC3 has been running the programme to see whether a disabled woman could make it as a model.
Until recently 23 year old Kelly was working as a credit controller and living in Enfield. Following her success on the show, she has gone on to be photographed for Marie Claire Magazine by the infamous Rankin, and Take 2 Model Management has agreed to represent her.
The series proved controversial; raising questions such as 'should girls with hidden impairments be involved in the competition?' and 'is the fashion industry ready to include disabled people in magazines and on the catwalk?'
