BRITAIN'S NEXT TOP MODEL, CYCLE 1

'Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 1' was the first series of the show. It is based on the same concept as America's Next Top Model. It was broadcast on LIVINGtv. The show was followed by a short programme entitled 'The Evictees Story' which showed the eliminated model and her journey throught the competition. This was then followed by 'Britain's Next Top Model: Confessionals' which showed each girl in the confessianal room talking about the other girls which wasn't shown on the show. For the second series 'The Evictees Story' was dropped and eventually 'Confessianals' was dropped for the third. The first cycle was hosted by fomer supermodel Lisa Butcher and judged along with Marie Helvin and Jonathan Phang.
