Presenting Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model, Jade Thompson - she genuinely is Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model because she won the show after the best catwalk-off since Zoolander in last night's final episode of the show...

Finale time saw Jade and Juste getting flown back from Miami for a big old strut-off at a Mark Fast catwalk show. It was tense stuff but only one girl could get her hands on the prizes (not sure if Elle reminded you of what they were enough, but there was basically loads of cash, a car and holiday to Sandals) and that was Jade - a 20-year-old former insurance advisor from Stoke-on-Trent.

Poor old Juste, we sort of thought she'd win because because Elle kept going on about how she had The Body (get over it, Elle!), but Jade did look pretty amazing in her final dress (her boobs!) so we weren't that surprised. 

We caught up with the bonafide model to discuss spending her money and winning the heart of Tyson Beckford...

HM: Hi Jade - CONGRATS!

Jade: Hiya, thank you very much. I still can't believe it to be honest. The day went so quick and I still haven't seen the final episode. Did I look I okay?

HM: Of course you did. Now, filming actually finished a few months back, so tell us what you've been up to - have you got hold of the prizes yet?

J: I've done my shoot for Company, but I haven't had the, 50k, holiday or car yet…

HM: Hint hint... Come on, people! How did you end up on the show? Was it your idea to audition?

J: No, I wouldn't have gone on the show as I didn't have the confidence. I actually got scouted by someone working on it.

HM: What was the highlight of the show?

J: The underwater shoot was really special - I hated it at the time but looking back I can't believe I actually did it. I'm such a weak swimmer and I hate being underwater, so to have actually won that shoot and then the whole show - it shows you can do anything...

HM: What was the crappest moment?

J: The ballet shoot.

HM: Because your boob kept popping out? 

J: Yeah, the dress was an A-cup and I'm a C/D. I couldn't keep it on - in a shoot where you have to jump about, it's just not ideal. Also the Company shoot in Miami - you don't get to see all of the judges comments on TV but I really thought I was going home that day from what they told me. 

HM: Yeah, but Tyson Beckford [made model and one of the guest judges in Miami] lurrvvved you - was your boyfriend jealous?

J: I told him about him before the show aired and I think he Googled him.

HM: Oh dear. What about the other girls? Have they all congratulated you?

J: Yeah, I see Imogen a bit - we're on the same level, it was nice to have someone to talk to like that, but we all see each other now the show's over - we get on well.

HM: What about the judges? Give us the dirt...

J: Charlie was really good at giving advice and really down to earth, but I had to work to win Elle round because I think she prefered Juste. Plus she's a supermodel, so you've got to impress her. She's got high expectations.

HM: Was it awkward with Juste after they announced the winner?

J: If I hadn't have won, I'd have given her a big hug and said well done, but I don't know how she felt about it or what she said to the camera. I tried to be nice...

HM: Do you get recognised?

J: Oh yeah, loads. I'm getting used to it now, but it was really weird at first - people run up to you shouting 'Jade', which is confusing because you think you might know them - why else would they know your name?

HM: So, what's your advice for any would-be models thinking of applying for next year's show?

J: Just believe in yourself - you can't change how you look so embrace it. I think I'm breaking the mould with how I look and my figure so hopefully that will help give other girls more confidence. 

HM: Yep, although it must help that you're hot to boot, Jade. Thanks!
