This former Catholic schoolgirl from Tooting is stripping her way to success as a page three girl.

Georgina Darby, 20, who was once a strict church-goer as a pupil at John Paul II school, beat thousands of other girls to the semi-final of a competition run by The Sun newspaper.

The Garbole Road resident made it down to the last six in the fight to bare her flesh to the nation, but was defeated in the last round.

She said: “I like being in front of the camera. I like seeing the finished product, it makes me proud.

“When I went to the Sun studio I was so excited. It’s all I ever wanted to do. I was proud I got to the last six, but I was also a bit disappointed not to win. I wanted to do it for the Tooting girls.”

The 28FF glamour model got her big break aged 18 when she sent her picture in to lads’ magazine Zoo.

She attributes her success to her drama teacher at John Paul II school, who taught her how to act despite being a shy student.

She said: “I have seen my drama teacher since I left. I think he was a little bit taken aback but now he’s quite proud.”
