Billericay beauty Rebecca Pearson could be the face of the millennium.
Move over Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford - Rebecca is making a bid to become the new queen of the catwalk.
Star spotters from Elite Premier model agency, the outfit behind the likes of Campbell and Crawford, spotted the 20-year-old's potential on the dancefloor of a Basildon nightclub.
They have now invited her to London next week to strut her stuff with 20 other star-struck hopefuls in a bid to find the next supermodel.
It is a dream come true for Rebecca, who works as a beauty therapist in London. The former Billericay School pupil has spent her life dreaming of adorning the front cover of Vogue.
Rebecca said: "I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm really looking forward to it.
"I've always wanted to become a professional model and it would be an exciting thing to do, even if it was only for a couple of years.
"If I don't win I won't be that disappointed, although I will try other model agencies."
Rebecca was spotted at the Festival Leisure Park's Ikon nightclub in a national competition organised by club owners Rank.
