CHALISE Greasley was spotted by model scouts during a school trip to The Clothes Show.

The 15-year-old Abersychan Comprehensive pupil is now in the semi-final of beauty pageant Teen Queen UK, but needs your vote to secure a place in the final.

Fresh-faced Chalise says she has always considered modeling but never did anything about it until Teen Queen scouts picked her face from the crowds in Birmingham. Chalise, from Blaenavon, was then whisked away to have her picture taken.

A few months later, once judges had whittled down the entries, Chalise was called to a professional photoshoot at a London studio.

She said: “I was shocked when I first found out I’d got through but now I’m so excited about the competition and really hope I make it to the final. The photoshoot taught me how to pose properly and I really enjoyed it.”

Chalise is hoping the competition will kick-start her career as a model – the top prize is a year’s modeling contract - but says she is still concentrating on her GCSEs and plans to go to sixth form.
