Britain's Missing Top Model was a British reality modelling show aired on BBC Three. The première episode aired on 1 July 2008.
The show followed eight young women with disabilities, a selection of average looking young women with various disabilities, who competed for a modelling contract (which includes a photo shoot with Rankin and a cover photo in Marie Claire). The show raised their hopes of a successful modelling career, and swiftly dashed them as they were told for various reasons that they weren't right for modelling and then eliminated from the competition. Aired over a period of five weeks the girls lived together and competed in a series of challenges and photo shoots. Each week at least one contestant was sent home. The eventual winner was Kelly Knox, who was born without a left forearm, and has since gone on to carve out a modelling career for herself. The other finalists have not been so lucky.
