A Croydon personal trainer has reached the July heat of a competition which hopes to find glamour stars of the future.

Mother-of-one Justina Elumeze, from Norbury, is competing for the chance to be crowned UK Bikini Babe 2009.

The six month competition will see three candidates a month qualify for the grand final in October, where a panel of judges will decide the winner.

The lucky one will be signed by top London agency Muse Management and will be snapped by renowned photographer Alan Strutt for the very first Bikini Babes 2010 calendar, which will be sold across the UK.

The winner will also be given the opportunity of fronting a new campaign for tanning company Fakebake.

Justina, 24, said: "I used to model a lot and have been trying to get back into modelling full time. Winning this competition would help me a great deal!"
