Highstreet Honey: Truro girl in final of FHM model search
Stunning Charlotte Thomson, 21, had to keep her achievement secret for three months after learning she made the semi-final cut in FHM's High Street Honeys contest.
She already knew she was in the top 100, but could only now reveal her top 10 spot.
And with her chances of victory now down to only a public vote, she is asking her friends, family, neighbours and West Briton readers to help her get there.
Aspiring model Charlotte, of Truro, said: "I found out I was in the final 10 in November so I could do the photo shoot, but had to keep it completely quiet until the magazine came out.
"It was a complete nightmare because I was dying to tell everyone.
"I did enter as couple of years ago, but missed the interview because I was on holiday, so I was gutted.
"Now it feels absolutely amazing because about 14,000 girls had entered and I'm not quite sure how I've done it.
"I've had a lot of support in Truro and am the only girl from Devon or Cornwall still in it, so I'm hoping people will continue to support me."
The top prize just around the corner is £10,000, a television presenting contract and a cover shoot for FHM.
