She was once taunted for her bright orange hair and gawky looks.
But now 20-year-old Jade Thompson is having the last laugh, following her victory on Britain's Next Top Model.
Since scooping the top prize this September, the flame-haired beauty has appeared on the cover of Company magazine and is now fronting Miss Selfridge's Christmas campaign.

From sequined mini dresses to feminine vintage-inspired gowns she poses in a number of festive ensembles, sporting smouldering eye make-up, plummy lipstick and quiffed up hair.
After surviving a 13 week stint on the Sky Living TV show and beating 13 other aspiring models, the one-time insurance advisor from Stoke on Trent said: ‘I’m over the moon.
‘I looked unusual, I was skinny. Everybody teased me. My hair was much redder then than it is now – it was bright orange.
'I never thought I would win.'

Miss Selfridge, which began as the young fashion wing of Selfridges in 1966, was one of the first retailers to use Kate Moss in their campaigns plus other famous faces such as Yasmin Le Bon and Nicollette Sheridan.
Jade's inspiration is Dutch model, Lara Stone, 27, who has worked for top labels including Giles Deacon, Isabel Marant, Christopher Kane, and boasts estimated earnings of ?2.8 million.
Jade said: ‘The way I see it, there are other models at the moment who have curves, like Lara Stone and Tyra Banks.'
Now the 5ft 10in, slender size 6 to 8 reality star is eager to move to America to front campaigns for other well-known brands.
She added: 'Ultimately, I'd love to model for Victoria's Secret.'
