AN aspiring model is loving the surreal life on a high profile television show.

Laura Young, aged 19, of Malvern, has been doing her best to impress Elle Macpherson, Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford as she aims to prove she can talk the talk and walk the walk in Sky Living HD’s Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model.

But she still isn’t used to seeing herself starring on television, though friends and fans have supported and encouraged her.

“It’s really surreal,” she said. “Watching it on TV is more surreal than filming it.”

The former Chase School pupil, now studying at Hereford Sixth Form College, has made it into the model house as one of the final 14 and survived two eliminations.

The programme airs at 9pm on Thursdays. For information on Laura, go to facebook.com/ModelLaura Young.
