Naomi Campbell’s show 'The Face' coming to UK



A BRITISH version of Naomi Campbell's television show, The Face, is coming to the UK. The reality programme - which sees aspiring models competing against each other to become the face of a world-renowned brand - will air on Sky Living later this year.

The show launched on the Oxygen network in the US in February, featuring Campbell - who also acts as executive producer of the series - alongside fellow model mentors, Coco Rocha and Karolina Kurkova. Campbell will also star in the British version, but the additional two judges have yet to be announced.

"I am looking for the ultimate model. It doesn't matter where you are from or who you are, The Face is about one thing," said Campbell. "I'm looking for contestants who have the whole package - a beautiful face, great body, unique look, confidence, drive and passion, the ability to change and transform, a willingness to follow direction and above all, a strong work ethic."


The show format sees each of the three mentors selecting a team of four hopefuls to guide through the eight-week series. Over the course of the show, the teams compete against each other in a series of real-life industry challenges - including photo shoots, catwalk shows and brand campaigns.

"Bringing the show over from the US is a real honour and it's great to be working with Princess Productions and Shine TV," said Campbell. "UK talent is world class, so I'm really looking forward to uncovering our next rising star. The show is a real insight into the modelling world - it's authentic and fast-paced."

Auditions to take part in the British version of The Face are currently being held around the UK. Female models aged 18 and over and who wish to apply should email thefacecasting@princesstv.com. Production will commence in the spring, with an air date to be confirmed later.

That gif is some of the most expert shade I've seen thrown in a LONG time.

Naomi doesn't visit the prairies, luv.
beatlesluv 20th-Mar-2013 02:12 pm (UTC)
Well it's a good thing I don't live in the prairies.

the judges for canada's next top model pissed me off. Australia had the best one honestly.
beatlesluv 20th-Mar-2013 02:14 pm (UTC)
Yea IA tbh. Australia had amazinnnnnnnnng ones. :/
ohthyhorror 20th-Mar-2013 02:19 pm (UTC)
I liked how the australian judges were realistic with body types and what they look for in models but were honest without being dicks. but the canada judges were just unnecessarily mean. The two moments that pissed me off in cycle 1 was when the male judge (of course a male) made the one girl cry over her skin. And then they call one contestant too fat, then in another photoshoot they tell her her butt isn't big enough and she is too thin.

:( you're completely right ;/
it's so disgusting...wtf do they think they are, the situation is ripe for creating eating disorders SMH -_- so ridiculous

I swear that gray haired Jay is a fucking sociopath. Every time a girl cries he just rolls his eyes and acts like such a narcissistic jerk. When he hosted the Canada version (after dear Tricia Helfer left), I was so UGH at the model mansion being decked out in pictures and portraits of him that were all obviously photoshopped. Bitch, PLEASE!
beatlesluv 20th-Mar-2013 06:32 pm (UTC)
;;_;; Mte. :/ He's such a piece of shit honestly. :/ Seriously!
devochkazhenya 20th-Mar-2013 01:56 pm (UTC)
i love this show so much
xjerseydevilx 20th-Mar-2013 02:00 pm (UTC)
Is she actually pretending that this show was her idea?
hollymarchosias 20th-Mar-2013 02:02 pm (UTC)
Finally, the UK has something that can counter the joke that BINTM has become.

Also, unrelated but related gif.

abcdlovelife 20th-Mar-2013 02:55 pm (UTC)
i cannot at what devyn said yesterday and then her backtracking. disaster!
henshins 20th-Mar-2013 04:05 pm (UTC)
Seriously. I thought she'd be up for elimination with the way she answered that question.
love_keiko 20th-Mar-2013 08:45 pm (UTC)
IKR?! wendy was like, ORLY?!
hunty 20th-Mar-2013 03:07 pm (UTC)
this show is perf and ill def watch the uk version, naomi is srsly reality tv gold

also i hope zi lin wins but i kinda think it will be margeux :(
tusiaczek87 20th-Mar-2013 05:32 pm (UTC)
team fucking coco haven't win anything, margeux doesn't deserve shit

team zi lin, she is so STUNNING
love_keiko 20th-Mar-2013 08:46 pm (UTC)
i want zi lin to win too. i think she's amazing and i'll be mad as hell if margeux wins over her at this point.
yurasama_love 20th-Mar-2013 03:16 pm (UTC)
Wow at Devyn, you guys! That was strange. And Margaux, yeesh. Interviews are not her strong point. And Jocelyn is really off putting.
Coco doesn't seem to be good at coaching her girls, either. And what was up with her lipstick?
rainbowren 20th-Mar-2013 03:37 pm (UTC)
Omg I need to get into this show, I see all these fabulous gifs of Naomi and it's just giving me LIFE!
spydergamez 20th-Mar-2013 04:03 pm (UTC)
hope queen ebony pulls through for the win
tusiaczek87 20th-Mar-2013 05:29 pm (UTC)
Naomi makes this show, she is reality tv (and life lbr) GOLD



disko_tron 20th-Mar-2013 07:09 pm (UTC)
Agreed. Naomi brings it at every level. I laughed so hard when they were in the elimination room and naomi was catwalk pacing while waiting.
disko_tron 20th-Mar-2013 07:11 pm (UTC)
naomi says what everyone's thinking.
love_keiko 20th-Mar-2013 08:49 pm (UTC)
BASICALLY.

naomi is like um bitch this is not america's next top model.

i think her strategy is cut throat for sure. it's like dont EVER find urself in the bottom if she's up to bat because if she thinks u're strong u're out.

i'll be shocked out of mind if zi lin doesn't win or come dangerously close to winning. that girl is perfection.
love_keiko 20th-Mar-2013 08:51 pm (UTC)
side-eying the fuck out of dev. universal appeal = not black? bitch u better own that and naomi was right to call her out on it. talkin' bout i kno i'm black cause i got sass, sit down. that is NOT what it means to be a black model in the industry. when naomi dragged her i was like PREACH.

voting for zi lin and ebony cause margauex doesn't do it for me anymore (even tho i LOVE her look) and dev is officially on my shit list.
belle_chouette 20th-Mar-2013 09:23 pm (UTC)
Naomi slays my fucking life.

I don't even care about who wins this tbh, it's all about Naomi.
