Elle Macpherson says she is looking for more than just beauty in her latest search for Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model.
The supermodel told Sky News she hopes to find someone with a certain "x factor" on the talent contest, a spin-off of the highly successful reality TV show America's Next Top Model.
"It's that thing when someone walks in the room and you don't know what it is. It's like that x factor, that thing that someone has inside their heart. They stand out," said Macpherson who is hosting the programme.
In the new series on Sky Living HD , 20 girls are competing to win a top modelling contract.
The young contestants live together in a house for several weeks while taking part in challenges, photo shoots and meetings with members of the modelling industry.
One of them is eliminated each week until the last contestant remaining is declared the winner.
To assist her in the search, Elle is joined by three leading figures from the fashion world, designers Julien MacDonald and Whitney Port and male model Tyson Beckford.
