Models: Street to Catwalk - Episode Guide

Mancunian agency Nemesis is on the lookout for a roster of new talent to join the ranks of the global supermodel elite. But there's a no-nonsense policy - if you mess up, you're out; succeed and you're made for life.

Today they're looking for two new models to add to their books. They'll be put through their paces by the management team, coached by professionals to achieve the perfect shot, and attitudes checked to see who's got what it takes.

First up is aspiring model Ellis, from East Manchester's notorious Hattersley Estate, who is determined to get more from life. This is the chance he's been waiting for.

Building labourer Jordan's back at work after his first shoot with a major sports brand. He's interrupted at the building site by a phone call from Agency Director Nigel, who wants to take him out for a taste of the life he could achieve, if he grafts hard enough.

Meanwhile Ethan walks out of Nemesis after receiving some upsetting news, and professional model Ruby's made a mistake that could cost her her career...

Building labourer Jordan is off to London for his biggest job yet, while Ruby heads stateside for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Miami. She's never been to America before and can't believe her luck. Miami's top agency has arranged a test shoot for her and Ruby's determined to impress.

Nemesis are left asking questions when Ellis doesn't make it in time for an important casting.

And boss Nigel asks Ethan to change his look: Nigel thinks Ethan's hiding behind his hair and could shine after a haircut. But after a delivery arrives in the post, Ethan quickly realises he's got bigger problems to deal with.

Ethan's past has come back to haunt him - but will it affect his future with Nemesis?

Modelling has opened building labourer Jordan's eyes to new goals in life: he starts to make plans to move out of his mum's house and find a flat of his own, but the nature of his new modelling career means work is not always regular. Can he afford to keep up with the modelling and move into the new flat?

Since missing a casting to look after his dad, Ellis has had no new modelling offers. He heads out to the streets to see if he can find a new job to pay the bills and support his number one priority - his family.

Nemesis invite seasoned model Nathan to mentor their new recruits, giving them the tips and tricks of the trade, including how to pose during shoots.

Meanwhile Ruby's back at home and still reeling from her trip to Miami. It looks like lifestyle she's always seen on TV is now within her reach. But if Ruby's selected, she'll have to make some huge life decisions.

The world of modelling is changing, and Manchester is where it's at. The northern fashion houses of Boohoo, PrettyLittleThing and Missguided have taken over the fashion world and are redefining what it means to be a model. Gone are the pretty boys, the super skinny girls and the demands to be over six feet tall. This series follows one of Manchester's leading agencies, Nemesis, on the search to find a new generation of models. 

Jordaine, a self-described 'short, big-bummed black girl' impresses the Nemesis talent team in her first meeting. But what happens when 18-year-old Kyra arrives at Nemesis assessment day? She's shy, a size 18, and she's got a skin condition - not exactly modelling material. But in the new world of fashion, Kyra is hot property, and Nemesis know it. 

When Nemesis's most exciting new prospect, Juan, is slashed across the face in a savage knife attack, will he still be able to succeed as a model? Jordaine secures her first modelling gig, and it could be life changing. But there is little interest in Kyra - is the fashion world ready for a plus-size model with vitiligo? Meanwhile, Hal's past catches up with him. His next photo shoot could be for a police mug shot. 

It's Hal's day in court, and if he's found guilty, he might never model again. Prettylittlething has booked Kyra to be the face of their latest campaign, but at the end of the shoot she receives some shocking news. Jordaine secures a casting for a top London agency, but can she cope when taken out of her comfort zone? Juan is thinking about going under the knife to improve his looks. 

How will Kyra cope after a train malfunction makes her two hours late for a crucial modelling assignment? Just when Juan thought his modelling career was back on track after the trauma of being attacked, the police ask him to return to the scene of the crime. Can Hal finally leave street fighting behind him and concentrate on his modelling career?
