The new series of Britain and Ireland’s Next Top Model is also featuring a new search for a model via Instagram and Twitter called Insta-Model.

(The current challenge is #FIERCE.)

As well as Dannii and Elle, three bloggers, bloggers Made In Chelsea star, Rosie Fortescue, will also set challenges.

For each challenge the specific judge will select a winner, with the three finalists going head to head and the public voting for their favourite via Twitter.
