AN Exmouth psychology student is leading in a competition to become the new face of a popular chain of fashion stores.

Blonde bombshell Naomi Cox, 17, from Mudbank Lane, is studying English Language, ICT and Psychology at Exmouth Community College - but thanks to votes from Exmouth residents she is now in the lead.

Scotts is a retail fashion shop, mainly in London, Birmingham and other large cities - and Naomi is the only finalist from the South West to make it through to the last 30 in a competition to be next "Face of Scotts" for 2009.

She said: "I am currently in the lead by over 300 votes, so fingers crossed it will continue to go this way."
