Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model axed by Sky Living

Sky Living has confirmed that it has axed long-running reality series Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model.

Next Top Model’s ninth series aired earlier this year and featured Elle Macpherson, Tyson Beckford and Dannii Minogue on the judging panel.

It is believed that the broadcaster has instead opted to focus its attentions on rival model reality show The Face, which stars Naomi Campbell.

A rep for the broadcaster said: “After nearly a decade on air, BINTM won’t be returning to Sky Living next year.

“We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of the talent who have been involved in the series, with particular thanks to Thumbs Up Productions, exec producer and host Elle Macpherson and this final season’s judges Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford.”
