Who? Becca Horn
Age: 18
Hometown: Lytham St. Annes-on-the-Sea, Lancashire
Story so far: Becca entered the Elite Model Look 2012 competition and (unsurprisingly) made the grade. She tells us that she was a member of Blackpool Gymnastics Club for 10 years, which goes some way to explain that enviable physique. She has already been shot forPonystep with Ben Weller, and Harper's Bazaar in the UK.
What did you want to be when you were younger? A policewoman, so that I could follow in my dad’s footsteps!
Favourite London hangouts? Market crawling in Shoreditch! I have also discovered this lovely Turkish restaurant in Highbury that's become a favourite of mine — it's a close call...
When I wake up I…EAT A MASSIVE BREAKFAST! I have a breakfast addiction; it's the best part of the day!
In five words I’m…talkative, sociable, hyper, attentive, and alert.
If you want my advice...Always expect the unexpected, and never forget your personality, it’s the thing casting directors will most likely remember you by.
Heaven is…Somewhere we will all meet again!
Hell is…Avoidable.
Who? Shea Thompson-Blake
Age: 16
Hometown: Manchester
Story so far: Shea was a finalist in the Elite Model Look 2012 competition, and is currently modelling part-time as well as studying at college in her hometown of Manchester. During LFW spring/summer ‘13, she walked for Kristian Aadnevik and stepped to it for Sophia Webster's footwear presentation.
What is your favourite city? Probably Manchester just because I grew up here and I am familiar with it, but I'm sure this will change when I go travelling and really explore the world for myself!
What people don’t know about me is…I learnt to play the didgeridoo when I was three.
What did you want to be when you were younger? A flutist in a musical theatre pit.
My guilty pleasure is… trainers. I can never have too many.
In five words, I’m…creative, spontaneous, slightly weird, enthusiastic, and cheeky.

In 20 years time I’ll be…hopefully, running a successful music publishing or record label.
