A schoolgirl from Raynes Park needs your votes to get through to the Teen Princess 2012 final.

Dannika Dudfield, who attends Coombe Girls School in New Malden, was spotted at Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model Live Show at the ExCel.

Her application was accepted and she went through to the next stage. She then received a call from the pageant organisers asking her to come for a photoshoot in London and, much to her surprise, she made it into the semi-finals. Her picture is now one of 45 on the website for Teen Princess where the public are being invited to vote. If Dannika receives enough votes, she will go on to the final with the added hope of a modelling contract.

Dannika said "I never imagined I would get this far. My photoshoot was just the best thing ever; hair and make-up done and made to feel very special. However, I really want to do well and am hoping that my local community will support me in my quest to go further. I will be representing Raynes Park."

Dannika will only be able to make the final if she secures enough votes from the public. Mum Tonia really wants everyone to get behind her daughter.

"She's done so well to get this far; I'm incredibly proud. She's a very determined young lady and strives to get far in everything that she does. Her passion is in the performing arts and has been since the age of 4. This would be the icing on the cake if she made it into the final."

To vote for Dannika, either text TP30 to 81319 or by calling 0900 593 2000 and quote '30'.

All calls and texts cost 75p plus standard network charges.

Closing date is 16 December; voters must be 18 or over and have the bill-payers permission.
