This is amazing! The BBC Three in Great Britain is doing Britain’s Missing Top Model where they follow eight disabled hopefuls trying to prove they have what it takes to make it as a mainstream fashion model. The show will have the eight hopefuls pack into a Chelsea penthouse, and just like America’s Next Top Model, they’ll have a series of challenges until they narrow it down to find Britain’s Missing Top Model.

All the girls in the house are disabled. One is born without a left forearm, one is deaf, another is missing most of her right arm, and one is partially paralyzed. The winner of Britain’s Missing Top Model gets a spread in the British edition of Marie Claire magazine. It starts tonight on the BBC Three, it’s too bad I don’t get that channel in my apartment. Boo…but Good Luck my disabled models!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.
