Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (2013) [S09E01]

The ninth cycle of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model premiered on 20 June 2013 on Sky Living. Two judges from the previous cycle did not retain their positions. Elle Macpherson continued as the show's head judge along with model Tyson Beckford, but fashion designer Julien Macdonald and Whitney Port left the series. Australian singer and talent show judge Dannii Minogue joined the series as a third judge.
The 27 semi-finalists converged in London for casting week, where they met the judges for the first time and had one-on-one interviews with them before facing a cut that saw seven hopefuls leave the competition. The remaining 20 semi-finalists had a natural beauty photo shoot in groups of four. At the end of the episode, the judges chose the final 14 contestants, and the finalists moved into the model home.
