U.S. Version of 'Make Me A Supermodel' Coming to the U.K.
The United States version of
Make Me A Supermodel will soon be airing in the United Kingdom through Living. The competitive reality series, which originated in Britain in 2005, has captivated various audiences in America and has earned strong ratings for Bravo.
"Living truly is the home of modeling on U.K. television as we know from the success of the
Next Top Model brands on the channel,” Amy Barham, head of acquisitions for Virgin Television's Living and Virgin1 channels, said in a statement. "
Make Me A Supermodel U.S. is a brand that will sit perfectly in Living's summertime schedule. It is sexy and controversial and there are not many shows that can be described as ‘a televised aphrodisiac'!"
While the British version of
Make Me A Supermodel has aired two seasons, the U.S. version has just recently wrapped up its pilot season following 15 episodes since the show aired its audition preview on January 2.
Hosted by supermodels
Tyson Beckford and
Niki Taylor,
Make Me A Supermodel followed 24 beautiful and talented men and women who competed for a spot on the Bravo reality series. In the casting special, the 24 finalists were cut down to the 14 models that will ultimately compete for $100,000 and a modeling contract with New York Model Management, a professional modeling agency committed to promoting top talent and new faces to the fashion industry.
During the run of the series, Bravo viewers voted each week to determine who stays in the running and who goes home. Over a 12-week period, 14 hopefuls lived together in a New York City loft and explored friendships, romance and ambition while undergoing a series of creative challenges designed to test their professional modeling potential. In the end, 21-year-old
Holly Kiser, who hails from Coeburn, Virginia, claimed the supermodel title.
