Leicestershire's Tori is hoping to be voted Britain's Sexiest Farmer
The 26-year-old has reached the final of a national competition, Britain's Sexiest Farmer – where the top prize is a pair of practical workboots.
But her life is far from glamorous. She works long hours at Springbarrow Lodge, near Shepshed, the family farm of her boyfriend Ben Stanley.
Her days are spent looking after a flock of pedigree Jacobs sheep and a herd of award-winning Longhorn cattle. She also helps sell beef at the weekly farmers' markets.
Ben, 29, nominated Tori for the competition without initially telling her.
Tori, who had not set foot on a farm until she started dating Ben six years ago, said: "He came up to me and said that he had done something really funny, then suddenly he brought up my ugly mug on the internet and told me about the competition.
"I couldn't believe it and I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to do.
"I thought 'Oh my God Ben! What have you done,' but then I realised it was a bit of fun and that I might be able to change some of the perceptions people have about farmers.
"Farming can be sexy and there are a lot of people out in the countryside with a natural beauty.
''I probably never bother with a manicure because my work is pretty hands-on, and I don't stick on the mascara before I head off into the fields, but to be honest, for me, getting all dolled up isn't necessarily sexy.
"Most people think farmers are all old fuddy-duddies who stand around chewing straw and talking about the weather.
"There's an element of that but farming is full of beautiful, young talented people just like any other industry. All the other girls in the competition look fantastic but I hope people will support me."
More than 300 people entered the contest, run by Farmers Weekly and entrants have been whittled down to five male finalists and five females.
An internet poll, up to January 22, will determine the winner.
Ben said: "When she first found out I nominated her, her first reaction was one of anger. As soon as she realised she had made it into the final and had a good chance of winning, she got very competitive.
''It was a bit of a joke to start with but now I think she really wants to win it. Of course, as far as I'm concerned she is the country's sexiest farmer without a doubt but I wanted everyone else to know it.
"I think it would just be wonderful if Leicestershire could claim to be home to the sexiest farmer.
"The great thing about Tori is that she isn't from a farming family originally but she has completely embraced the lifestyle and has a real passion for it. She works so hard and always looks fantastic."
Should Tori top the poll and become Britain's sexiest farmer, her prize will not be a luxury spa treatment or top-of-the-range make-up but a pair of chemical and manure resistant safety boots.
