A student has been crowned Britain's Next Top Model - beating David Walliams's rumoured love interest.

Private school-educated Alex Evans, 18, has landed a contract with Models 1, a campaign with Max Factor, and a front cover with Company magazine.

She beat fellow student Catherine Thomas, also 18, into second place and Stefanie Wilson, 22, who has been spotted dating Little Britain lothario Walliams, into the third spot.

The fourth series of the Living TV show featured 14 contestants battling to become Britain's Next Top Model.

Evans, from Cranleigh in Surrey, has just taken her A-Levels and is awaiting the results.

She said of winning the show: "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I could achieve anything like this... but now I have proved myself wrong."

Judge Lisa Snowdon said: "She's very special looking and all her pictures are fierce - the fashion world is her oyster."
