A CHESHIRE model has her eyes focused on a place in the Samsung Diva Elite Model competition.

Jessie Batty, from Bickerton, was named one of three semi-finalists after the Liverpool stage of the national tour was held.

She will now attend a national casting event in London on July 17, where ten finalists will be chosen for a model masterclass and mentoring.

The masterclass will then culminate in a gala final where the winning girl will receive a modelling contract with Elite and a place in the Elite Model Look World Final.

If Jessie is successful then she will be following in the footsteps of former Elite models Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen and Linda Evangelista.
