Britain's Next Top Model (series 4)
Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 4 is the fourth cycle of Britain's Next Top Model. The cycle, like the previous cycles, was aired on SkyLiving. The cycle was said to be bigger, better and bustier than ever before. The cycle was revolutionary for its time in that it featured shorter girls with heavier set frames and a larger bust.

There were major changes in this cycle. The winner's prize changed and the judging panel also received a change; Icelandic reality TV star hopeful Huggy Ragnarsson and Gerry Deveaux replaced two of the former judges, Paula Hamilton and Jonathan Phang.
This is the only cycle to feature a cast of 14 contestants until Cycle 6, rather than the usual 12 or 13. The international destination during this cycle was South Africa. The winner's prize was a contract with Models 1, a Max Factor Cosmetics campaign and a 6-page spread and cover of Company Magazine.
The winner was 18-year-old Alex Evans from Cranleigh, Surrey, who battled against a moderately severe anger problem and height defect to emerge triumphant.
Runner-up Catherine Thomas participated as a contestant on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 18 along with six other former BNTM contestants. Thomas was eliminated in the 9th episode after failing to impress at panel.
