List of episodes

Series 5 of Britain's Next Top Model premiered on Sky Living on 20 April 2009. [1] The series introduced several changes to the show's format. Lisa Snowdon and Huggy Ragnarsson returned as judges, while head garment designer Louis Mariette joined the panel, replacing Gerry DeVeaux. [2] [3] [4] [5] This marked Lisa Snowdon's final season as host, with model Elle Macpherson taking over in series 6 the following year. [6]

This was the first series to include a casting episode, featuring 20 semi-finalists—the largest number of contestants since the show's inception in 2005. Seven were eliminated in the premiere, and the remaining 13 finalists moved into the Top Model house in London.

The series was won by 19-year-old Mecia Simson from Plymouth. Her prizes included a contract with Models 1, a campaign for Max Factor cosmetics, and a cover and six-page editorial in Company Magazine . [7] [8]

Runner-up Sophie Sumner, along with fellow contestants Annaliese Dayes and Ashley Brown, later competed on America's Next Top Model: British Invasion , alongside four other former Britain's Next Top Model contestants. Brown and Dayes were eliminated in episodes 5 and 11, respectively, while Sumner went on to win the competition. [9] [10]

431"The Girls Go To Boot Camp"20 April 2009 (2009-04-20)

The top twenty semifinalists arrived at a countryside manor before being whisked off to a gruelling model boot camp for a series of assault courses at Henfold Lakes Dorking. Following an Ed Hardy runway challenge and subsequent elimination, the remaining fifteen semifinalists participated in an army-inspired photoshoot challenge, photographed by judge Huggy Ragnarsson. At the end of the week, the judges selected the final thirteen contestants.

442"Quizzes and Castings"27 April 2009 (2009-04-27)

The finalists moved into their new home and were divided into teams for a fashion quiz, competing to win a set of designer watches. They later took part in a film advert challenge at Millennium Bridge wearing Elizabeth Emanuel bridal wear where they were required to kiss a male model, with Kasey being chosen as the winner. The models also met J. Alexander for a runway lesson, before ending their week with a nude mango bath photoshoot session for Simple Cosmetics. At elimination, Sophie and Lisa-Ann landed in the bottom two, and Lisa-Ann was eliminated from the competition.

453"Re-style and Rhythm"4 May 2009 (2009-05-04)

After a heated exchange between Annaliese and Chloe, the models were taken to the Daniel Galvin salon for a round of makeovers, where Viola was selected to star in the salon's 50th anniversary ad campaign. For the weekly challenge the contestants had to perform a dance routine in groups of four at London's Movida nightclub, with the winning group (Ashley, Daisy, Hayley, & Kasey) being treated to a night out. On set at the photoshoot, the models were paired up for a grunge sapphic themed session at an underground carpark. At elimination, Ashley and Chloe landed in the bottom two, but were both allowed to remain in the competition.
