Thanks all for your questions - here are the answers!


i thought u were amazing on the show, whats gona be your next step now and where will we see you next?
Jade: Thank you! I've just moved to London so that has been my first major step. I hope you will see me in magazines! but fingers crossed I'm just going to do a lot of test shoots to build up my portfolio and hopefully get signed. Just want to keep modelling for as long as I can and be as successful as I can be.

Who did you get along with most in the house? and why?
Jade: The person who I loved in the house was Viola. I thought she was so quirky and different. But, to be honest, I got on with everyone! I still keep in touch with Sophie and Mecia the most. I was actually living with Mecia for a bit in London!
Mecia: I got along most with Hayley because she's fun and down to earth

Mecia , when you first enterd bntm what was ur initcial thorts and grade of confidence ?
Mecia:I just thought, there is no way in hell I'm going to win!

To Jade-Hi!!!Omg,I really taught you should have won!!!Have you been signed by anyone yet?I hope so!!!
Jade: Aw thank you! Its OK I didn't win because I think it was right that I came 3rd. Although it would be great to have the modeling contract under my belt. Hopefully I will be soon though a lot of things have been happening so your keep fingers crossed for me!

What was your most difficult photoshoot and why?
Mecia: The drug campaign because I didn't get the brief!
Jade: The most difficult shoot I would have to say was probably the company shoot with The Script. The styling for the shoot was body-con dresses which I just don't suit at all! so I felt a bit uncomfortable. Also I kept falling over in front on Danny, the lead singer, because I couldn't jump about in the shoes I was wearing. He actually had to catch me at one point! It was really embarrassing and the picture wasn't great! oops!

What would you say to others thinking of entering bntm? Btw you both did really well congrats on the engagment Mecia and Jade your an ispiration for showing it's possible to get over anything in life Sarah x
Mecia: I would say definitely go for it if it's something you want to do and let your confidence shine through.
Jade: Thank you very much Sarah! I would say to anyone who wanted to try something - whether entering bntm or even applying for a job - I would say just do it and don't think about it. Let others decide because they will see things that you probably won't see in yourself. I thought they were joking when they even asked me in for an audition! You have to trust their decision.

How does it feel to be britains next top model ! x
Mecia: AMAZING, I'm a very happy girl now.

Jade-you are brill, how are you coping with the eating disorder ?
Jade: I am really well thank you I was so much better even before I started the show but after going through the whole experience I feel I have left it so far behind now. Obviously it will always be a part of me but I would never let it control me again because I wouldn't be where I am now. It's easier to cope with because I'm happy and I've put on over a stone now which has given me so much more energy. I still have my nutritionist there just because I think it's important to have that support. I just like to know I'm doing things right and being as healthy as possible.

Mecia-what experiences have you had so far being bntm ?
Mecia: I have met amazing photographers and had loads of fun.

Jade-i thought ur pics were by far e best in every photoshoot. I realise it must o bn difficult bn in e spotlight alot because o ur weight, so wat made u wanna go on bntm wen u ad issues we ur body
Jade: Good question! A lot of people have asked me this question but I'm never sure if I explain it properly because people who know me knew how unconfident I was before the show. I don't want to sound sorry for myself but I used to give myself a hard time about EVERYTHING! I
