Jade McSorley (born 16 February 1988) is a British model, most notable for been the last eliminated on the fifth series of Britain's Next Top Model.
''Britain's Next Top Model''
McSorley first garnered public attention by participating in the 2009 series of Britain's Next Top Model. She established herself as a front-runner in the show, and with the exception of the semi-finals and the first week of the finals, she was always put through to the next round as one of the top three performing girls. She won three in-show competitions, including two in the same week at the final 4 stage.
She became a fan favourite due to her consistently strong performances and likeable personality.{{Cite news|url=https://metromodels.com/jade-mcsorley/|title=Jade McSorley -|last=Portfolio|first=Jade McSorley|access-date=2017-09-03|language=en-US|archive-date=3 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903165712/https://metromodels.com/jade-mcsorley/|url-status=dead}} After the second week, McSorley was never placed outside the second best photo, with the exception in eighth week when she was placed third. McSorley was last eliminated from the competition and was never in the bottom 2 appearance. The judges stated that whilst they felt McSorley had progressed massively during the competition, they still felt that she wasn't ready to handle the modelling industry, and head judge Lisa Snowdon expressed doubts that McSorley would be able maintain her recovery from her disorder if she were to model full-time.{{cite web|url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2009/07/07/jade-is-out-but-not-down-as-she-vows-to-fight-for-dream-84229-24093089/|title=Jade is out but not down as she vows to fight for dream|first=Evening|last=Gazette|date=7 July 2009|website=GazetteLive.co.uk|access-date=11 June 2017}}
