A model from Wallington is tipped for the top after making to the finals of a hit TV talent show.

Lauren Lambert, 23, is one of the favourites to win Sky TV show Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.

Miss Lambert is one of 14 aspiring models to make the finals of the contest, judged by Elle Macpherson, Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford, and will take on a series of modelling challenges during the series.

Born in St Lucia, Miss Lambert moved to London when she was 10.

She says her inspirations are models Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, her favourite features are her lips and legs and that she would love to do an underwater shoot but not a naked one.

Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model started on Sky Living last month and is on every Thursday at 8pm.
