Sarah Kennedy, from Portnoo, was Miss Donegal and Miss Ireland last year.
The 22-year-old will feature on the Sky Living Channel next Thursday in the search for Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model.
Sarah has revealed that travelling to London for the audition was just her third time she had been on a plane.
And it was her first time on London’s Underground.
“It was my first time on a train,” said Sarah, “and I was really freaking out.”
“I didn’t realise it bounced around like that.”
She is hoping she can go a long way in the show.
“This is my dream,” she said.
“I want to be here and I know I deserve to be here. And I know I had to go to London to do this because there aren’t any modelling agencies at home.
“God didn’t give me long legs, red hair and fair skin for nothing; this is what I am meant to do.”
Sky sources have told Donegal Daily that Sarah has done really well so far; the pre-recorded auditions will be shown next Thursday.
Judges include singer Danni Minogue and supermodel Elle MacPherson.
