BIKINI babe Abby Bastock is hoping to win a modelling contract when she takes to the catwalk at a major car show this weekend.

The stunning 20-year-old is hoping to follow in the footsteps of a Bewdley student voted the UK's sexiest "girl next door" when she dons skimpy beachwear at car show Max Power Live being held at London Docklands Arena on Saturday

Health Studies student Abby admits she is "incredibly nervous" about the "Bikini Babe" competition where she also stands a chance of scooping £1,000.

But she said the success of Kayleigh Pearson - who was voted the number one "High Street Honey" by readers of lads' mag FHM - had given her a confidence boost.

She said: "We have both jumped straight into a competition without any experience, so even if I don't win it will have been worth it just for the experience. And it's still very exciting!"

Like Kayleigh before her, Abby was picked after Max Power - the archetype "boy racer" magazine - received some saucy snaps of Abby taken at home.

"My boyfriend sent some photos in but I forgot about it and I only got a letter a week before the event. I'm really scared!"

Abby has lived in Norchard, near Stourport, since she was 13 and is in her second year at University College, Worcester, which is also the seat of learning for 18-year-old Kayleigh.

Abby beamed: "I would love to go into modelling and this is the perfect start!"

Max Power Live - on Saturday and Sunday - will also feature page three pin-up Jordan and is billed as "the biggest, loudest, sexiest and definitely the craziest car show the capital has ever seen".
