THERE was plenty to smile about for Jemma Colledge at the Model of the Year Competition on Friday night.

The 22-year-old from Gorleston won the Miss Friendship title at the contest, which included entrants from across the country.

Judges picked Jemma for the award for help she gave fellow competitors and organisers before and during the event.

A trained hairdresser, Jemma was chosen for the final after attending a tutorial day held by the Kerri Parker Model Academy last month.

Two separate contests were held for over 18s and 14-18 year-olds at Open in Bank Plain, Norwich.

Former Great Yarmouth College student Chrissie-lea Dyball, 20, was also celebrating after finishing third.
