I can’t wait to see what Scotland has to offer; from my recent experience as a judge on ‘ Britain ’s Next Top Model’ I am aware that there is a lot of undiscovered talent out there. I personally love the old school super models and in the past I have interviewed Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Elle MacPherson. I am looking for a girl that has something they possess; which is more about character and a certain captivation which I believe in the world of modelling to be more important than having the “right” look.”
