The stunning 8 finalists don't believe in letting their disability hold them back
Thursday, 31 July 2008
Kelly Knox has been named the winner of BBC Three show Britain’s Missing Top Model.
The 24-year-old, who was born with her left arm ending just below the elbow, beat hundreds of other hopefuls.
The series aimed to find the world’s first disabled supermodel and the 8 finalists' disabilities included deafness and paraplegia.
‘I’ve actually never used the world “disabled” in my life,’ Kelly admits. ‘I don’t see myself that way, but the fact is that society does see me as disabled.’
The office worker beat runner-up Sophie Morgan to win a coveted shoot in Marie Claire and the opportunity of a contract with a top modelling agency.
‘I just want to show I can do anything that anyone else can,’ Kelly tells The Sun.
‘If I can change attitudes by taking part in this show then that would be amazing.’
