Battle of the bikinis: Behind the scenes at Britain’s Next Top Model photo shoot in Spain

Amelia Thomas poses for the all-important photograph that could take her through to the next stage of the competition


The current season of hit TV show Britain’s Next Top Model is in full swing – and this week it’s bikini time! Colette Fahy joined the remaining contestants on location in Spain for an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at this episode’s photo-shoot challenge…

It’s 7am in Alicante, Spain, and at the serene and stunning Sha Wellness Clinic and Spa, the nine remaining contestants still in the running to be Britain’s Next Top Model have already been in hair and make-up for two hours. This may be a TV show, but it’s serious stuff!

As fans of this hit reality programme know, this year it is bigger and better than before – not least because legendary supermodel Elle Macpherson is now at the helm, leading a new line-up of judges and attracting an impressive list of guests – including swimwear designer to the stars Melissa Odabash, whose designs the wannabe Elles are modelling in Spain.

This is a one-day photo-shoot and each girl has one chance to nail a shot that could see her swimming through to the next round of the competition. While waiting for their turn in hair and make-up, the contestants are tucking into the breakfast buffet: muesli, fruit and porridge (wisely, many come back for seconds – it’s going to be a long one).

I quiz make-up artist Lee Pycroft (a favourite of Diane Kruger, Sienna Miller and Naomi Watts) on the look of
the day: ‘We are going very natural,’ she reveals. ‘All the weekly shoots until now have been quite stylised, but
Elle specified that this one should be more relaxed. She wants to let the girls’ personalities shine through.’


Finishing touches: The girls get prepared for the shoot


For Joy McLaren, a 20-year-old from Leeds, the only thing ‘shining through’ is her nerves. The first to strike a pose today, Joy looks stunning in a Melissa Odabash white cutout swimsuit with gold trim, but photographer Javier Galue deems her poses awkward and stilted.

Luckily, Melissa herself is on hand to offer support all day, and she is sympathetic to Joy’s nerves: ‘I’ve been there – I modelled for over ten years – and these girls will be fine, they just need a bit of encouragement.’

Nerves don’t seem to be a problem for the Lily Cole-like Amelia Thomas, 21, who is self-assured from the start in a red one-piece. But confidence, it turns out, isn’t everything in this game – Melissa is unsure that the theme of today’s shoot is right for Amelia. ‘She is a beautiful English rose and has a very certain look, but it’s more high fashion – I’m not sure it’s right for swimwear.’

Melissa and Javier had announced at the crack of dawn that they were looking for ‘limitless energy’ – and 18-year-old Tiffany Pisani from Malta has exactly that.

At midday she bounds on to the set, jumping about in a bright yellow bikini and straw hat. At last, someone who is clearly delighted to be here!

‘They want this to be a happy image, and that’s easy, because I’ve been smiling ever since I made it on to the show,’ she says. ‘I’m just so happy to be here. I mean, yesterday in the airport we were given £500 to spend on an outfit and I bought a Victoria Beckham dress. And I get to keep it! Who wouldn’t be happy about that?’

Next-up, Amba Hudson-Skye is another very happy model – most mortals would baulk at the barely there black one-piece chosen for her by Melissa, but 20-year-old Amba is thrilled.

‘It’s perfect for me. My tummy is not my best feature and I have quite small hips, so it hides my flaws while giving me curves – amazing!’
The girls all seem to have hang-ups about their bodies – Amba with her hips, 21-year-old Kirsty Parsons with her Angelina Jolie-esque lips (‘Elle has been telling me to watch my pout, but even though I try, I can’t seem to help it!’) and Olivia Oldham Stevens, 19, worries about a lack of curves, especially on her derrière. But, on a swimwear photo-shoot beneath an unforgiving Spanish sun, no one is blaming them.

Art and design student Nicola Wright, 19, probably has the toughest time of all the girls. She is struggling to pose in a freezing swimming pool while water pours over her from a nearby waterfall – it’s all in the name of fashion, but it’s tough work and Melissa is unforgiving: ‘In this business, no matter how cold and tired you are, you just have to put on a brave face and get over it.’

Of course, the girls don’t get to choose how they will be photographed – Nicola drew the short straw – and neither do they get to choose their own outfits. All eyes are on Alisha White, 18, who is ‘channelling Cheryl Cole’ in the swimsuit that the pop singer was famously photographed in last year. ‘All the others wanted this costume, so I hope it gives me the edge,’ she says.

Alisha may have got the swimsuit everyone wanted, but it’s Charlotte Holmes, 21, who wins the praise that all the girls were after – Melissa says she would happily hire her as the face of her brand, and Javier tells her he’d cast her in a swimwear calendar ‘tomorrow morning’. Alas, in the morning Charlotte will simply be back with the others
in the BNTM House in London, waiting to see whether her star turn by the poolside will impress Elle and the judges
and take her one step closer to the grand prize – a modelling contract with Models 1 agency and the chance to be Britain’s Next Top Model.

Irina Shayk enjoys the limelight at New York film premiere... while boyfriend Ronaldo keeps his eye on the ball in LA

Striking: Irina Shayk shows off her svelte, tanned figure in a jade Herve Leger bandage dress at the New York premiere of Twelve


Until a few weeks ago, most of us had never heard of Irina Shayk.

But following her boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo's shock announcement he had become a father and a staunch denial from her that she was the mystery mother of the child, the Russia beauty's star has rapidly ascended.

Enjoying her surging fame, the 24-year-old underwear model showed off her stunning figure at the New York premiere of Twelve on Wednesday night.

Showcasing her tanned, svelte figure in a jade green Herve Leger bandage dress and pale pink Christian Louboutin heels, it's easy to see what attracted Ronaldo to the model.

Meanwhile, her new boyfriend - who she's been dating since May - was on the opposite U.S. coastline, practicing with his Read Madrid teammates in Los Angeles.

Wearing a white kit, the Portuguese winger was put his paces by new manager Jose Mourinho.


Getting ready for the new season: Cristiano Ronaldo trains at the UCLA campus in Los Angeles with his Real Madrid teammates on Thursday


The couple haven't been together since Ronaldo's New York trip in early July

While Shayk has remained in the Big Apple - where she lives, Ronaldo returned to Europe before coming back to the States.

Ronaldo shocked fans when he revealed he had become a father to a baby Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr on June 17 to an American mother.

He said he was in ''full custody' of the baby, which has been cared for by his mother Dolores Aveiro, 55, and sisters Katia, 33, and Elma, 35.


Working it: Shayk showed Ronaldo what he was missing while he was hard at work in training


A Sunday newspaper report two weeks claimed Ronaldo fathered the child after a one night stand with an penniless American waitress last summer.

The woman was said to have contacted the footballer's agent after finding out she was pregnant and a DNA test conducted while Ronaldo was playing in the World Cup last month confirmed he was the father.

Ronaldo has refused to comment any further on the identity of the baby's mother.

Since announcing on July 3 that he had become a father the previous month, Ronaldo appears to have spent barely any time with his son.


Who's the daddy: New father Ronaldo was back to work with Real Madrid while his mother is caring for his newborn son


In the days following his shock announcement, Ronaldo was shopping, partying and relaxing by his hotel pool with his girlfriend in New York.

He briefly returned to his native Portugal last week, where his mother and sisters have been caring for the baby in a £20,000-a-week rented villa on the Algarve.

But it looked like domestic issues were the last thing on his mind as he got in yet more tanning on a yacht in the Mediterranean with a group of male friends.

Following a few days back in Europe, Ronaldo joined his Real Madrid teammates in the Spanish city to join a team flight to Los Angeles for their summer training session.

After arriving in LA on Wednesday, it wasn't long before Ronaldo was kitted up and playing for Mourinho.

Sexy secretary: Rumer Willis at the Darker Side Of Green event in New York last night


Prepare to take this down Miss Willis: You look like you are about to get up to something you shouldn't by the photocopier.

The 21-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore stepped out in New York last night looking very much the vamped-up secretary.

Wearing a skintight black-belted pencil skirt and a see-through white blouse, clearly showing off her black bra underneath, and a black tie.

Oddly enough, Bruce and Demi's eldest girl Rumer hadn't just finished her 'nine-to-five' but was attending the Darker Side Of Green event at the Bowery Hotel in the Big Apple.


Girl talk: Rumer and Michelle Trachenberg at the event last night


Rumer has followed in the footsteps of her superstar parents and become an actress, first appearing alongside her mum Demi Moore in Now And Then in 1995 when she was just seven.

She also starred alongside Bruce in The Whole Nine Yards in 2000 and Hostage in 2005.

In her next project she will appear with Kristin Cavallari of The Hills in an independent film called Wild Cherry, which will be released later this year.

Rumer has also been signed on to star in the film Walks starring Lucas Haas, Brittany Snow, Emmanuelle Chirqui and Jessica Szohr.

And she is among a host of celebrities set to make a cameo appearance on the upcoming season of the hit CW show 90210.

Also at the event was Smallville and Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg, Liev Schreiber, Ewan McGregor and the night was hosted by Tracy Morgan.

But none of them appeared to have just turned up from the office.

Chained up: Taylor Momsen poses for a fashion shoot to launch the Material Girl brand in Manhattan yesterday


It must have been a little nerve racking being directed in a fashion shoot by the Queen of Pop.

But for Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen, the new face of Madonna and her daughter Lourdes’ Material Girl clothing line, it all seemed a bit of a breeze.

And in typical fashion, Madonna took charge of the Manhattan shoot, taking photos herself and directing Taylor on how to pose for the snaps.


Direction: Madonna shows the 17-year-old actress exactly how it's done on the photo shoot


‘Madonna totally came in and intervened and re-did everything and positioned everything and put it into her own vibe,’ Taylor told Access Hollywood.

‘I think we [have] a very good working relationship. I think it went well.’

The17-year-old looked sultry as she posed in a series of trendy outfits which included a black cropped jacket, teamed with skinny black pedal pushers and black platform heels.

She was also seen clad in floral shorts, grey cardigan and short black boots.


Taking charge: Madonna helped take photos of the Gossip Girl star in New York


Madonna's 13-year-old daughter Lourdes, nicknamed Lola, was also on hand to help out.

'Lola was here all day and she helped style the shoot and I worked with her to put the outfits together. She’s a sweetheart,’ said Taylor, who plays Jenny Humphrey on the U.S. TV series.

Madonna, who was dressed all in black, was taking a break from directing her first feature film W.E. about the life of Wallis Simpson which has begun shooting in London.


This is how you do it: Madonna directs Taylor on how to pose


Designer duo: Lourdes resembled her famous mum in trendy hat and waistcoat


‘I’m psyched to be the face of Material Girl,’ said Taylor, who is currently taking a break from Gossip Girl to tour with her band The Pretty Reckless.

‘It’s awesome. For one, it’s Madonna so it’s gonna be cool and it’s really an awesome experience so far.

'She’s very down to earth for all her success so it was good to see that.’

Taylor also called Madonna a 'cool mom' after working with her on the shoot.


Edgy: The Gossip Girl actress looked stylish in the Material Girl gear, which Lourdes helped design


Fashionista: Taylor posed in bracelets and funky boots for the line, which will be available in Macy's


'I was ecstatic to be asked. It’s such an honour,' Taylor told Women's Wear Daily.

'It’s Madonna. I was kind of shocked. She’s amazing. She was very down to earth.

'It was nice to see after all her success, she’s still very grounded.

'She definitely has a vision and was very hands-on. It was really easy working with her.

'She’s very comfortable to be around — very professional but a lot of fun.'

Taylor revealed her favourite pieces from the collection, which is aimed at young girls, are ‘all the bandeaus.’

The Material Girl brand will debut next month at Macy’s in New York.

It will then be available in Macy’s stores across the U.S.

The collection consists of clothes, footwear, handbags, jewellery and accessories.

'I love my body,' declares model Janice Dickinson as she goes naked at 55

In good shape: Janice Dickinson shows off her size six figure as she poses nude for the new issue of Closer magazine


Given her eccentric behaviour on I'm A Celebrity and Come Dine With Me, Janice Dickinson isn't known for being the shy and retiring type.

So perhaps it's not surprising that she's still prepared to bare all at the age of 55.
The veteran supermodel poses in nothing but a pair of heels in a new photo shoot as she proclaims she 'loves' her body after undergoing various cosmetic enhancements

The seasoned reality TV star, who is currently filming Celebrity Rehab in the U.S., credits her honed body down to her tough exercise regime and diet - with a little help from the Botox injections.

Standing tall at 5ft 11in, the mother-of-two boasts a size six figure - which she admits takes a lot of work.

She tells the new issue of Closer magazine: 'I love my body, but it's a compulsive obsession.

'I have to make sure I exercise and that the ingredients that go into my body are completely organic.


Starting out: A younger Dickinson in a modelling shoot in October 1978


'I relax, meditate and do 80 minutes of yoga every day. I hike and make sure everything I eat is organic. I eat steamed fish, chicken and turkey, plus salads, carrot juice and supplements.'


The full interview with Dickinson is in the new issue of Closer magazine, on sale now


Dickinson is a proud fan of cosmetic surgery after undergoing her first operation aged 32.

She explains: 'There's no such thing as too much. Whatever it takes to make an individual feel better, I'm all for it.

'Then in my 40s I signed up for Botox and now I have it every six months.

'My advisors say I should get rid of the neck. You can have an incision in the back of the neck that will tighten it up. Am I considering it? Always. I'm going to be the best looking corpse on the planet!'

Dickinson has promised viewers of Celebrity Rehab will see a very touchy side to her as she is currently going through the menopause.

She said: 'I'm going through the menopause and it's hell. I'm on hormone replacement and I get sweats.

'When you leave after the shoot I'll feel like something the cat dragged in.'

If her modelling career ever stalls she should take up gymnastics.

Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted on the beach in St Barts yesterday posing up for a photoshoot and the 29-year old was showing off her astonishing flexibility.

The Brazilian supermodel was wearing the new range of Victoria's Secret bikinis and could be seen frolicking in the waves and lying on the white sand on the Carribean island


Beach Babe: Alessandra Ambrosio models for Victoria's Secret on the beach in St Barts yesterday


Yoga pose: The model flexes her leg behind her as she stretches out on the sand


Covering her face with gold Ray Ban sunglasses, she sipped on a smoothie in between shots.

In one pose, she is wearing a bright green and black tiger print swimsuit and the model manages to bend her leg behind her body in a yoga-style pose.

Alessandra has been modelling since she was 12-years old and at 15 she won Elite's Model Look modelling competition in Brazil.






In shape: She sips on a smoothie between takes and shows off her enviable body


Strike a pose: Alessandra turns up the heat at the shoot staring seductively at the camera


Aside from being one of the coveted Victoria's Secret Angels, seen to be one of the top modelling gigs in the world, she has also worked for Revlon, Dior, Armarni, Ralph Lauren and has even appeared in the famous Pirelli Calendar.

In August 2008 she gave birth to a daughter, Anja Louise, with fiance Jamie Mazur.

Only three months after giving birth she astonished fashionistas when she appeared in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, walking the runway in the brands lingerie - the same way Heidi Klum had the year before.

Who needs muscle power when you've got Brad Pitt? Slimline Angelina Jolie dazzles but it's a far cry from her Lara Croft days

Star quality: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended the Los Angeles premiere of her new film Salt last night


Luckily Brad was holding her tightly by the hand. For tottering along in her high heels, a rather slender Angelina Jolie looked like she just might blow over in the breeze.

The actress, whose relationship with Pitt appears to be back on track, was starring on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of her film Salt.

Her shimmering strapless mini dress was the epitome of glamour - yet it also revealed what appears to be an alarming weight loss, leaving her arms and legs looking particularly delicate


Spot the difference: Jolie at the premiere, left, and as super strong Lara Croft in Tomb Raider


Main attraction: Angelina was ready for her close-up on the Salt black carpet


Her new look is a stark contrast to her more voluptuous days as the feisty Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, her 2001 hit.

Playing a spectacularly honed superhero just might be a little beyond her these days. Perhaps the pressure of her strained relationship with Pitt, not to mention the responsibility of six children, has taken its toll.

Six months ago, there were suggestions the couple - known collectively as Brangelina - were on the verge of splitting after five years together.


Lean and leggy: Angelina kept her red carpet look characteristically simple, wearing a black strapless minidress and nude coloured heels


My moment: Brad was on hand to give Angelina some support, and rolled back the years after shaving off his beard


Frenzy of fans: LA's movie fans turned out in their thousands to see Hollywood's dazzling couple


However, as they smiled, chatted with fans and signed autographs outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, they seemed happier than ever.

Pitt, 46, has also dispensed with the straggly salt and pepper beard he has been showing off for months.


Can't take my eyes of of you: Brad couldn't take his eyes of the actress and mother of six


Private moment: The pair chatted intimately on the black carpet, and appeared to be enjoying the moment together


In her customary fashion for marking landmarks in her life, Miss Jolie, 5, has treated herself to another tattoo, taking her collection to 14.

The latest addition, inked on her inner thigh, is apparently 'for Brad', as she has explained, refusing to elaborate.


Sharing the spotlight: Angelina with her Salt co-star Liev Schreiber and his partner Naomi Watts


In Salt, she plays a CIA officer whose loyalty is tested when she is accused of being a Russian spy.

Her next movie will see her taking on the role Elizabeth Taylor made her own - Cleopatra


Body double: Actress Naomi Watts, whose husband Liev stars in the film, wore a strikingly similar look to Angelina, in a silver strapless cocktail dress with matching heels


Elizabeth Taylor's portrayal of the iconic Egyptian queen in the 1963 movie earned critical acclaim, and Jolie said her take on Cleopatra will be very different.

She told the New Straits Times: 'I will play it differently to Elizabeth Taylor, but I could never be as lovely as she was.

'We are trying to uncover the truth about her as a leader and not just a sex symbol which she really wasn't - she didn't have many lovers, maybe only two, and they're men she had children with.'


Pewter power: The Hills star Kristin Cavallari sought maximum exposure in a plunging grey minidress with spiked shoulders and matching silver heels


Family affair: Angelina's father Jon Voight made a surprise appearance at the event along with her brother James Haven


She added: 'She was misunderstood and her life story was written wrongly. I always thought her life was very glamorous.

'Then I read her story and found a different side to her - that she was a mother, leader and an intellect who spoke five languages!

'Her upbringing also reflected her relationship with Rome - all that is much more interesting than what she was summed up to be.'

Salt hits screens in the US on July 23 and in the UK on August 20.
