A GLAMOUR girl is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton after reaching the finals of a men's magazine competition.

Emma-Louise, of Shavington, has beaten thousands of rivals to appear as one of 150 finalists in Maxim's Little Black Book.

Readers of Maxim are being asked to text the number of their favourite girl who will go on to be crowned the country's sexiest singleton.

The winner will receive an exclusive magazine photo-shoot and a 12-month modelling contract.

Maxim's Little Black Book has launched the careers of such people as Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle and model Louise Glover.

Emma-Louise, who has asked for her surname not to be published, said: 'I have been working in the glamour industry since I was 18. It all started during a night out in Stoke-on-Trent when I just fell into it by chance and it went from there.'

The 23-year-old has been working across Europe for the last four years and has graced the pages of some of the country's most popular magazines and tabloid newspapers.

She added: 'Being voted in the top 150 sexiest girls is very flattering and quite exciting but I won't let it go to my head because I still want to feel like I am the girl next door.'
