X-Factor starlet Lucie Jones gets signed up to Select Model Management

We felt a little bit sorry for X-Factor contestant Lucie Jones after she was voted off in favour of the Jedward twins, but the singer has shown what being on TV can do for your career.

The singer has had a surprising new development to her future after it was announced that she’d been signed up by signed by Select Model Management.

Chrissie Castagnetti, co-founder of the agency, which has a number of supermodels on its books said: “As soon as we saw Lucie, we recognised that she had a great look.

‘As her confidence grew and her personality came through, we knew we wanted to work with her. We’re looking forward to unleashing her great potential.’

Of course the singer, who is set to shoot her portfolio in January, is thrilled.

‘I love fashion, I love beauty and I love singing, so to be able to model alongside my music is the best Christmas present ever. I can’t wait to get going next year,’ she said in an interview over the weekend.
