Follow Up of the Day: 24-year-old fashion icon Roland Bunce, the unlikely front-runner in a modeling competition sponsored by British clothing retailer Next, has claimed the top spot according to the contest website.
Sadly for his many fans, Bunce, who was to move on to the next stage of the “Make Me The Next Model” competition where 250 finalists will be judged down to 50, has announced his decision to withdraw his entry.
“thx for all the kind words and i really appreciate it but i wont be changing my mind,” he reportedly wrote on his Facebook page (sic throughout). “And cant go into all the reasons but jst know that the decision wasnt taken lightly and i can handle some insults but when ppl ring ur house and email ur work then its to far.”
According to British tabloid The Sun, Bunce beat out 5,000 other hopefuls with a total of 66,000 votes — 65,911 more than the first runner-up.
