CATWALK kitten Joanne Estelle Gillespie is being tipped for the top.
She may be just a schoolgirl but Joanne had the judges wowing her style as she took top marks in a star-studded modelling graduation show at Wigan Pier.
At 13 and 5' 8" Joanne is heading in the right direction for a tilt at supercat Naomi Cambell's glory.
Her strong, attractive features and confident style has impressed top agencies and her pier-less performance resulted in her being snapped-up by a Manchester-based agency.
"Joanne aims to become a professional model but she also enjoys studying at school where she is doing very well academically," said her proud mum, Vivien.
As a disco dance champ Joanne is no stranger to the centre stage.
And soon she hopes to tread in the catwalk footsteps of her idols supermodels Cindy Crawford and Ellenor Christie.
