I'd like to thank Audrey for helping so much (best model couch there is) and thanks to Ana Zens and Rachel for great model training and thanks to Grant McDonald, Taz Smith, Des O Neill, Carolynn Christodoulou and Neil Elworthy for the great pictures and videos and thanks to Momi Kay and her makeup team they all did a great job and to the Top Model hair team they did a fab job."
