How did you get into modelling? Dee O: I came from an Irish immigrant working-class background, and grew up in Birmingham. My boyfriend, without me knowing, entered me into a Face of 1983 competition. I think I was 17 or 18 at the time. Then I suddenly heard from Look Now magazine, saying we’d like you to be part of the Birmingham finalists. I won the Birmingham final, so I, along with girls from all over the country, went to London for a weekend and they put us up in a hotel. I didn’t win Face of 1983, but the agency running the prize still asked to represent me. So I started commuting back and forth from Birmingham, catching coaches from Victoria at 2am after eating some horrible sandwich.
