What it's REALLY like behind the scenes on Britain's Next top ModelCosmopolitan Editor Farrah Storr reveals all...

in case you missed the memo, BNTM (c'mon, that acronym by means of now) is back. It's got four bright new judges - Abby Clancy, authentic male twiglet Paul Sculfor, style snapper Nicky Johnston and style journalist Hilary Alexander. (If the final three do not suggest something to you go look them up. They're genius hires). 

there may be a raft of incredible, harrowing and every so often hilarious challenges, 15 women who're as stunning as anything Pixar could make up and here's the bit where I get inexcusably carried away - me as a visitor mentor to the aspiring models.

Sshhhh...Filming for a completely unique @cosmopolitanuk secret project. More details soon....

but I recognize what you really need to know, because it's what everyone wishes know about reality tv. What virtually occurs when the cameras forestall rolling? well top information… if you let an editor on set, they'll spill all the secrets. As i'm approximately to do simply now.

i'm now not going to head and ruin it all by means of telling you who cries and when. However if there's even a smidgen of cynicism to your heart about whether or not these women shed real tears, i can let you know that yes, they cry real, huge fat tears. And guess what… i used to be accountable for a number of the ones tears. This doesn't make me proud. ????

The judges are making ready for his or her huge night time! #newBNTM @paul_sculfor @nickyJphoto @HilaryAlexander @OfficialClancy %.Twitter.Com/2ajfNifn8i

shock horror, that is a actual reality display. With actual reactions and real statement. I suspect some of Nicky's feedback are on the cutting room floor. He has a devilish wit that one. In all likelihood too darkish for early evening television.

And drink. I noticed this with my own eyes. Pretty loads, as it occurs.

in case you've ever looked at a photo of her and notion, "Oh, she simply looks properly in images." I hate to interrupt it to you. She is amazing. Kind of like an extended Ashley Olsen but with higher skin. Oh, and she is excellent. truely satisfactory. Except Nicky likely the warmest out of all of the judges. She instructed me she was going to call her daughter Farrah, so this is constantly a win in my ebook. She's also about 6ft tall, that's why I appearance as even though i've been reduced in size inside the warm wash in comparison to her. 

regardless of being one of the maximum famous male models of all time, Paul Sculfor is a.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. simply spelling that out to you. If you haven't visible his previous work simply kind "Paul Sculfor" and "torso" into Google to familiarise yourself. There is a purpose he dated Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz. And it is because he is funny. In reality humorous. Proper story.

#regram @nataliesarahedwards who are this motley team of newshounds casting judgement? Oh most effective me and the other awesome guest judges on @newbntm out January twenty first song in to peer what passed off subsequent....

in some unspecified time in the future alongside the manner, the women get quizzed by a cavern of vicious journalists. What you don't see, is absolutely the terror earlier than every lady speaks. I've in no way visible such a lot of shaking arms, tapping feet and quivering lips. You wont be able to see this when the show airs but take this under consideration before you judge any of them.

To the naked eye I am the editor of Cosmopolitan, guest mentor and all-round fashion savant. In fact, I became as much as day 2 of the shot with a rip in my trousers and footwear I could not stroll extra than three ft in. You may no longer see either of these things. Ever.
