Buncrana woman Nicole Gallagher is preparing for an exciting weekend as she takes part in the Miss Bikini Ireland finals.

The model search takes place on Sunday 25th May, where law graduate Nicole (24) will be putting her best foot forward in the hope of winning the trip of a lifetime.

The winner of Miss Bikini Ireland gets an all-expenses-paid trip to the world finals of Swimsuit USA International with the chance of winning the top prize worth $80,000.

Nicole says she already feels like she has achieved so much during the experience.

I entered the competition because it was always my dream to be a model from a young age and to get the opportunity to be in this has been a great experience,” she said.

Between photoshoots and making new friends, Nicole has been enjoying every part of the competition so far.

“I feel that with all I have achieved throughout the competition, I am a winner already no matter what the outcome of the competition but if I did win, I would make sure to represent Ireland with joy and honour and be a positive role model for young girls and women.”
