This 18-year-old battles it out on TV tonight to be Britain's Next Top Model.

Catherine Thomas, from Folkestone, is up against two others to gain the title.

The girls have been filmed throughout the 12-week competition - and had to live together in the same house.

KentOnline caught up with Catherine ahead of tonight's final.

She said: "I've grown a lot in confidence. When you are away from your family and friends and only have one phone call in seven days for five minutes, you get a tough skin, a bit stronger."

Britain's Next Top Model can be seen on LivingTV tonight at 9pm
