A spectacular new face – Amelia, was discovered by Daniel Model Management‘s owner Dan and, in a way, we can thank Beyoncé for that. Soon after, she signed with Elite Model Management London which, combined with her confidence and very distinctive features, undoubtedly makes her future in modeling industry very exciting.
Here, she shared her enthusiasm for what’s coming.

Hello Amelia! Tell me about the way you got scouted.
I went to a Beyoncé concert in Birmingham with my mum and sister for my birthday and just as we were leaving the Arena I got a tap on the shoulder by Dan from Daniel Model Management and the rest is history.

It didn’t take long before you got signed with Elite London. How did it make you feel?
I don’t think words can describe how I felt the moment I got signed up. The minute I walked in the agency I felt nothing but love and support from everyone there. It was so surreal!

What excites you the most about your new career?
Traveling has always been my dream, so that has to be the most exciting part of the next chapter in my life.

What would be your modeling dream job?
My dream modelling job has always been to be a part of fashion week.

Also, 5 random questions for you:

1) In which city would you like to live?
My dream city to live in is definitely New York.
2) What’s the best thing about being you?
The best thing about being me is knowing exactly where I want to be in life and having the chance to achieve my dreams.
3) If you were an animal what would you be?
If I were an animal I’d be a bird because I would love the chance to see different parts of the world whenever I want.
4) What do you do in your free time?
My family and friends mean the absolute world to me so they’re the people I love to spend my free time with.

'I couldn't believe it': Teenager whose twisted spine left her in 'crippling' pain realises her dreams of becoming a top fashion model - after extreme surgery to have metal rods inserted in her back
By Kerry Mcdermott For Mailonline
PUBLISHED: 07:08 EST, 11 November 2016 | UPDATED: 07:13 EST, 11 November 2016

Amelia Kearney from Leicestershire, was diagnosed with scoliosis in 2013
Pain of the 16-year-old's curved spine made everyday tasks 'impossible'
Surgeons inserted two metal rods in Amelia's back, leaving a scar
Now Amelia is an Urban Outfitters model and aims to walk at Fashion Week

A girl who suffered from a condition that left her spine so twisted she couldn't even bend over to put on her own shoes is now in line to be a top catwalk model.

Amelia Kearney, 16, from Leicestershire, made the tough decision to have metal rods inserted in her back to straighten it, after crippling back pain began to make everyday tasks 'impossible'.

The surgery left the 5ft9in teenager with a scar running the length of her back, but now her modelling dreams are coming true after she posed for Urban Outfitters and was snapped up by Kate Moss' modelling agency.

Amelia had been forced to delay her modelling dream after finding out she had scoliosis - meaning she had a curved spine.

Amelia's mum, Diane, took her to the doctors in 2013 after she complained her hips weren't straight

It was then she received the devastating news she had scoliosis, but she was too young for corrective surgery as she hadn't finished growing.

Amelia said: 'I always used to walk funny so my mum took me to the doctors as we thought I just needed some insoles.

'The doctor asked me to bend over and that's when he said I had scoliosis.

'I grew so much when I hit puberty, my spine couldn't keep up so it curved.

'When the doctor told me my heart just sank, I'd never heard of it before and it sounded like such a big thing.'

Mum Diane, 53, added: 'It was such a shock, we thought we had a perfectly healthy child.

'They couldn't really do anything though as she hadn't stopped growing at that point, she was only 13.'

As she got older, her back pain increased to the point where she couldn't even lie down without any pain.

The beauty said: 'It got to the point where I couldn't really do anything.

'I'd bend over to tie my shoes and just be in agony.

'Getting changed and every day things were becoming impossible.'

Mum-of-two Diane added: 'She was in an awful lot of pain with her back and we were in and out of hospital at various appointments.'

Just months later, Amelia was at a Beyonce concert in Birmingham with her family when she was scouted by Daniel Cooke of Daniel Model Management.

She said: 'He approached my sister first, then he approached me.

'I was really shocked, I thought it was a scam - I just couldn't believe it..'

It wasn't until 2014 - nearly a year later - that Amelia followed up Dan's offer and visited him in London for an initial meeting.

In January 2015, Amelia took the difficult decision to have her spine operated on to help ease her pain - especially as a modelling contract was now on the cards.

She had two metal rods inserted into her back to straighten her spine which has left a scar down her back.

Amelia said: 'It was a very difficult decision to have surgery, but it's made such a big impact on my life.

'I'm a lot better now and I'm glad I've had it done, it means I can do so much more than I could before.

'I still get a bit of pain but I can play more sport and every day things like standing up for a long time are more comfortable.'

Four months later, in April 2015, Amelia had her first shoot for Elite Model Management - the same company which looks after Kendall Jenner.

Since then she has gone from strength to strength and posed for Urban Outfitters and BOY London - with shoots for fashion empire Chanel in the not too distant future.

Amelia said: 'Recently I've been doing more modelling jobs and travel down to London a couple of times a week.'

The technical theatre student added: 'I've always been a shy person but this has really helped with my confidence.

'I really enjoy it and love doing shoots where there's all these people who are just there for me.

'It's such a surreal experience.'

Mum Diane revealed Amelia hasn't always been a fan of the camera, though.

She said: 'When she was younger people always said to her that she could be a model but she just laughed it off.

'She used to hate having her photograph taken, she never liked being in the spotlight.'

Amelia now plans on taking a year out after college to focus on her modelling, and dreams of being a catwalk model.

She said: 'I love Cara Delevingne, she's done everything I want to do.

'I'd love to be at Fashion Week, catwalk modelling is my dream.'

Dan Cooke, director at Daniel Model Management, said: 'I am so excited by and for Amelia, she's going to be a superstar.

'When I scouted her three years ago, she was so nervous and shy and now she's confident, gorgeous and killing London.'
