Britain's Next Top Model finalists brave the paps

The three Britain's Next Top Model finalists faced the spotlight at a celebrity party in London on Wednesday and found it hard to cope with the paparazzi. Jade McSorley, Sophie Sumner and Mercia Simson attended the Living TV party at Somerset House and were still seeing lights flashing in their eyes hours later. Jade said she found it 'really daunting posing in front of so many cameras'. She continued that she didn’t know how stars like Britney coped with it every day. “I felt like they were all telling me off as they kept asking me to change my pose and look here, there and everywhere." She joked that next time 'I’ll just give them one pose and walk off!' The Britain's Next Top Model finalists are pictured fighting over Red, the new 'face' of Virgin1 channel. *The final of Britian's Next Top Model screens on Living TV on Monday, July 6*
