Jasmine Elliott, 21, is competing as Miss Sheffield in the Miss British Isles competition which is taking place on Monday, May 27.

Jasmine, who works as a member of cabin crew and is about to move to Manchester, had never considered she could be a model before.

She said: “I was contacted through my social media and they messaged me.

“And we had a quick chat with me and asked if I was interested and if I would like to give it a go.

“It was completely out of the blue.

“I had had nothing to do with modelling before but I’d always been interested in it.

“I’d always been a bit awkward with having my photo taken and I didn’t think it was something I would get on with.

“But I had a professional shoot and really got on with it.”

Jasmine currently lives with her family in Whitwell.

She said: “There’s my mum, dad, brother and sister and my grandad lives in Whitwell as well.

“They are all quite excited about it but it’s all been a bit weird for them.

“Being from Whitwell where there is nothing around here to do with modelling. It’s quite alien.

“It’s a little town in the middle of nowhere.

“It’s taken a bit of getting used to.”

If Jasmine is successful she will get a year long modelling contract and £3,000 prize money.
