Its yearly model search, called ‘Star In A Bra’, offers one winner the chance to model for Curvy Kate, along with a year’s modelling contract with curve agency Bridge, a year’s worth of lingerie and a cash prize.

Over 2,000 women across the UK and Ireland entered the 2016 competition - which is now down to just 10 finalists.

The 10 hopefuls range from ages 20 to 34 years old and include students, an engineer, a nurse, a healthcare assistant and a receptionist. 

Finalist Selen Alfuran (below), from London, said she entered the competition to show the world that “beauty has no size”.
