Donegal’s Sarah Kennedy confirmed that she plans to embark on a professional modelling career after coming runner-up in last night’s Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model.
The 23-year-old from Portnoo said “Modelling is 100 per cent what I have wanted to do for a long time, it’s just never happened.”
Sarah now plans to move to London with her boyfriend.
Sarah has not yet signed with any modelling agencies, but said she is excited to start her new career.
She took to Twitter last night to thank her faithful fans after the shocking result:
“Thank you to each and every one of you for all your support over the past 13 weeks,I am now going to live my dream 
Londons calling me! Xx”
Sarah made it through 13 weeks of gruelling photo shoots on the show, one of those being underwater.
She lost out to Lauren Lambert in the tense finale on Sky Living last night. She is the first Irish girl to ever reach the final.
