A HAMPSHIRE student will swap her studies for the catwalk next month in a bid to become one of the UK’s top models.

Brook Patricia Lott beat off competition from thousands of gorgeous girls to land a place in the final of the Top Model UK 2010 competition on March 14 at the Hilton Metropole in London.

The 21-year-old Winchester University drama student will spend a weekend at a model school learning about posture, stance and how to walk down a catwalk with 40 other hopefuls.

Brook will then be judged by a panel of fashion experts before a winner is selected from each of the three categories.
