A 21-YEAR-OLD has the chance of a jetset life as a model after her boyfriend entered her in a national competition to find the High Street Honey of 2002.

Tanya Robinson of Richmond, North Yorkshire, was voted the sexiest girl next door by Sky One viewers and readers of lads' magazine FHM over the weekend, and was still coming to terms with her good fortune yesterday.

As well as £10,000 in prize money, she was whisked away for a photo-shoot for the March cover of the magazine. The current Miss Blackpool, she will also be heading to Miami early in the new year to take part in the FHM Bikini Heaven competition.

"To be honest, I almost didn't apply. I never thought I'd win in a million years," she said.

It was boyfriend Andrew Fay who put her name forward.

After she was nominated to be one of the finalists, she was flown with nine other girls to Gran Canaria for a week of challenges and tests.

Each of their performances were then shown on Sky One on Friday night and votes registered by the viewers over the next 24 hours were added to those from a poll of FHM's readers.

Tanya, who works for mobile phone company Orange, listed poor hygiene among her dislikes while favourite things include junk food and socialising.

She says her ultimate ambition is to be a pop star, although when asked by the programme makers where she would like be in five year's time, her answer was studying to become a dentist.
