SHE picked on her housemates and was told she was too fat for the catwalk, but teenager Demelza Reveley has been crowned Australia’s Next Top Model.
The 16-year-old from Wollongong relied on the viewer’s vote to win the Fox 8 reality show after the panel of fashionista judges failed to reach a decision among themselves.
Three of the six backed Demelza and three wanted Sydney girl Alexandra Girdwood to take the title.
The winner picked up a modelling contract with make-up king Napoleon Perdis, a spread in Australian Vogue and chance to strut their stuff on catwalks around the world.
Demelza had faced a storm of criticism for bullying a rival model earlier in the show, but she saw her standing soar when designer Alex Perry told her she needed to lose inches off her hips.
But Byron Bay beauty Alamela Rowan, 17, who was pelted with water bombs, had a bucket of water tipped over her head and was subjected to other taunts and attacks by Demelza, said she shouldn’t have been allowed to reach the final.
Alamela’s dad Peter told Confidential that Demelza, the self-named “bitchketeer” should have been instantly removed.
He said his daughter had been “gagged” and told she couldn’t tell her story on a current affairs program about what she has called “one of the worst times of my life”.
Meanwhile, fans of the reality modelling show would have noticed host Jodhi Meares missing from last night’s live broadcast.
Jodhi, who was criticised for stumbling through last year’s live final, opted to instead pre-record some segments.
