Stephanie Baldwin Picture Ref: 78456-25SWINDON beauty Stephanie Baldwin has made the final of a lads' magazine beauty competition.

The 19-year-old from Toothill, pictured above, was one of 2,000 girls who entered Nuts magazine's Boardmasters Babes competition.

As reported last month in the Advertiser, Stephanie stripped to a bikini to show off her curves and now has made it to the last 20 hopefuls wanting to be crowned queen of the beach.

She will compete for the title in a two-day final at Fistral Beach in Newquay.

She will be judged by Radio 1 DJ Dave Pearce and glamour models Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh.

If she catches the judges' eye she could be set for the big time, as the winner will fly out to an exotic location for a portfolio shoot to kick start a year's modelling contract with the Sugarbabes agency.

So far the competition has taken six weeks.

Stephanie said she hadn't expected much at first.

"I sent some photos in and didn't think anything would come of it," she said.

"Then I got a call saying they wanted me in the beach babe contest. It's brilliant."

The final is this weekend and Stephanie will know if she has won on Sunday.
