Joe new face of Next

[Floh]

IF you were taking bets on which X Factor winner would land a modelling contract, JOE McELDERRY would have to be a rank outsider.
But the 5ft 5in singer from South Shields has indeed signed a deal with leading agency Next Models, and here are some of his first pictures to prove it.

Interesting. I find it hard to understand why they would use such a short model.

Maybe it's the kids department? He's still be shorter than most of those but the discrepancy wouldn't be so obvious
Seriously though, he'd be good for high street. It's not 'aspirational' like haute couture, the models are more everyday and relatable(if that's a word). Personally, I don't think he's in the least good looking and way too ordinary for any kind of high fashion. The pictures in the article prove that.
And James Dean!!!! Has the person quoted in the article ever actually seen James Dean?

That's really random, like extremely random. Out of all the finalists I wouldn't have guessed Joe would've ended up with a modelling contract.
Like, he's really good lookin but not really.. modelish..? lol

He does scrub up quite well but he'd have been the last person I'd have thought would get a modelling contract tbh.

WHY ISN'T HE SMILING I LIKE HIS TEETH!!

Ahh! He is really good looking so good on him! If its for like catalogues and stuff I don't think his height would really matter? I mean rather than catwalk type modelling.

He has such nice facial features!

..... these are really really good

He's obviously not high fashion, but he'd make a good commerical model.

Leave the haute couture to John and Edward, darrrrrrlllliiinnnnnnggggggs

he looks good and all but he would NEVER have landed that contract without the xfactor
says a lot about the contract holders. but good for him.

[iceicebaby]

I love these pictures! Yeah he is shortish(taller than me anyway) but oh well! He looks gorgeous!

[leeloo]

Airbrushed much?

[hollyyy]

he does have the kind of face i'd always imagine to see on high street type modelling tbh

[mjaox]

I think he looks a bit boring cute but not very high fashion

[speechless]

Aw, I think he's beautiful. ♥_♥

[mjaox]

I love your sig speechless ;D LOLOL
