Yesterday, the East Midlands contestants spent the afternoon rehearsing their catwalk struts and interview techniques.
Jemma Simmonds, event manager at ModelZed, said: "It was just a bit of last-minute preparation, going over some points and preparing them for the final.
"Some of the girls have not been involved in anything like this before, so we went over media training – if they win, the media will want them straightaway.
"They're a bit nervous but they also realise that this is an amazing, life-changing opportunity."
