Stunning Courtnie, 21 from Plymouth, says she has wanted to be a model for the last five years, and Page 3 has very much been on her radar during that time.

The 30E beauty currently works part-time in her mum's hair and beauty salon but has also modelled for some of the top men's mags and made a bit of a name for herself.

Here's what she had to say to us:

"Growing up I was always very quiet and shy believe it or not! I am half English, half St Lucian, so when I was little I had a head full of long dark curls, big brown eyes and olive skin, so I always stood out from other kids in school which I hated. I was even scouted by a children's modelling agency when I was 6 - but me being shy I refused to pursue it, which my parents were disappointed about.

I've always been really good at sport, so growing up I was always a bit of a tom boy! I seemed to excel in gymnastics, and athletics, as I'm quite flexible and can run pretty fast. I think I still own the record for long jump and 100m sprint at school come to think of it!

Well, I've always worked pretty hard at school. I have A Levels in biology and chemistry, and AS levels in maths and art. I always had hopes to work with animals as my sister owns horses and have grown up with them so I aimed for a career in veterinary. I was offered a place at my first choice university to study Bsc (Hons) degree in veterinary nursing specialising in horses, but as I had only just turned 18 I was a bit of a wimp and I wasn't ready to leave home and my friends! So I stayed at home and applied to my local university (Plymouth) to study podiatry!! Yes - feet!

How I got into modelling:

I didn't really have boobs until I was 17 so never thought I'd have what it takes to be a model... I think I grew them over night! So when I was 18 I entered a local competition to be in a charity swimwear/underwear calendar. I was voted by the public as one of the winners which I couldn't believe as I only entered for fun and to raise money for St Luke's Hospice. It was a major confidence boost which made me come out of my shell finally. Sat in a podiatry lecture one day, I was still truly disliking my course even after passing my first year, knowing that I could not be a podiatrist for the rest of my life. I was still on a high after winning the charity modelling competition that I thought I'd forward pictures to an agency as I really enjoyed being in front of the camera.

A week later I find myself in London after being called in by the agency, and lucky enough was taken on. Since then, I haven't really looked back. I put uni on hold to concentrate on modelling, and I am happier now than I've ever been.

Getting Page 3 has been my biggest goal since I started modelling and I am ecstatic and still can't quite believe that I'm now with The Sun! I could not wish for more, my life is one big bubble of excitement! I want to do as much as I can for charity in particular Help for Heroes- would LOVE to visit our troops I hope it can happen one day."
