Bennetts Babes - Behind The Scenes with Nicola McLean [13+]

Nicola McLean dusts off leathers to launch modelling competition

Top model Nicola McLean has joined forces with Bennetts, the UK’s number one for bike insurance*, to launch the sixth annual search for the Bennetts Babes.

The busty blonde, famous for her feuds with David Van Day in the Australian outback in ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’, kicks off the nationwide search this week encouraging the UK’s hottest babes to enter the annual search. This year the competition is set to be even hotter, as only an elite group of girls will be awarded a place in the most desired modelling squad in the biking world.

Glamour girl Nicola is Bennetts’ biggest celebrity signing to date, following in the footsteps of beauties Lucy Pinder, Kayleigh Pearson and Danielle Lloyd who have previously launched the search. As one of the country’s most successful glamour girls, the 27 year-old WAG is revved up and raring to launch the search. She said, “I started my modelling career with a shoot for a biking magazine so I’m really excited about dusting off my leathers and kicking off the competition.”

She continued, “Being a Bennetts Babe is well recognised within the industry and is the perfect entry into the world of modelling. Any girl who has ever dreamt of being on camera should visit www.bennettsbabesearch.co.uk and give it a go! I’ll be on hand throughout the search to give my top modelling tips and will be writing a weekly blog to keep everyone up to date on how the search is going.”

Eight lucky winners will be selected from the field of entries and crowned at the end of March. Acting as the face of Bennetts, the babes will live life in the fast lane in 2009 as they take part in a string of modelling assignments, marketing campaigns and promotional activity over the coming year. Entry is simple - wannabe models simply need to log on to www.bennettsbabesearch.co.uk to enter their details and upload a photograph. For the first time ever, babes will also be able to upload a short video clip of themselves to really show off their credentials.

Paul Galligan, Director at Bennetts said, “The Bennetts Babes grow in popularity every year and with Nicola McLean on board to help us launch the competition, we are hoping to crown the best squad yet for 2009.’
