Writhing in pain and with a permanent reminder of her abuse, this lady was not ready to succumb to her abuser, and give him the satisfaction of having permanently dulled her spirit. Chantelle , who had dreamt of modelling ever since she was a young girl, entered herself for the Top Model Of England Pageant. She wanted to prove that what happened to her does not define her, and that one does not need a pretty face to win.
