The eleventh cycle of Britain's Next Top Model premiered on 16 March 2017 on Lifetime. The judging panel from the show's previous cycle remained unchanged.[2] This cycle introduced challenges in which contestants could be granted immunity during their weekly eliminations. 22 year-old Talulah-Eve Brown made history in the series after being the first openly transgender contestant to compete on the show.[3][4]
The prizes for this cycle included a modelling contract with Models 1, a fashion spread in Cosmopolitan magazine, nation-wide advertising campaigns for Sleek Makeup and Paul Edmonds along with a yearly supply of both brand's products, as well as additional campaigns for Colgate, Dorothy Perkins, and boohoo.
The winner of the competition was 18-year-old Olivia Wardell from Romsey, Hampshire.[5]
The judges reviewed the audition tapes from their list of semi-finalists, and made their selection for the final 12. The finalists arrived in London and met the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Fattah Storr, who explained that they would be walking in a show for Cosmopolitan FashFest later that night. The day after the show the models had their promotional photos taken by judge and photographer Nicky Johnston, and later moved into the model apartment, where Talulah-Eve came out as transgender. At panel, Abbey Clancy revealed that no one would be eliminated that week.
