Britain's Next Top Model, Cycle 10 is the tenth cycle of Britain's Next Top Model. After Sky Living confirmed that the show had been cancelled in 2013, the show announced in April 2015 via its Twitter account that it would be returning in 2016 on Lifetime. The title was changed back from Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model to Britain's Next Top Model due to licensing issues, but contestants from Ireland were still allowed to apply for the show.

Episode 1
Original Airdate: 000000002016-01-14-0000January 14, 2016
The season commences by showing the auditioning process of the final fifteen girls, as well as some of the girls who missed out on making it to the semi-finalists round.
Soon after, all 15 of the semi-finalists arrive at Cosmopolitan FashFest, where they soon learn they will be walking in front of an audience of approximately 900 people for Cosmopolitan. The girls are then seen backstage getting fit for runway where many of the girls seem to be complaining about the clothing, most notably Amreen. With the girls finally being styled and awaiting runway practice, they begin to talk amongst one another where once again, Amreen seems to be the topic of discussion. The girls generally expressed dislike for Amreen's over-confident, competitive, and huge personality. Afterwards, the girls begin practicing their walks for the fashion show with the help of fashion show director, Lindsey Hunt and assistant show director, Lucy Jackson. Jade, Bethan, Alex, Angel, and Charlotte received high praise for their walks by the show directors and the other girls, with Amreen and Jasmine seeming to struggle.
The girls take to the catwalk for the very first time directly before the actual fashion show. With rehearsals underway, Amreen once again struggles, resulting in her becoming very frustrated with herself and starting to compare her performance with the other girls whom she believes are doing better than her. Alex is then seen attempting to motivate and encourage her to do a better job. With show-time about to begin, the guests and judges arrive, and the girls continue to get their makeup on backstage. The judges speak to the publicity, expressing excitement for the girls and the series to be back for their tenth season.
The fashion show begins with Alex seen opening and Charlotte ending it. Directly following the fashion show, the judges are seen talking about the girls' performances alongside Farrah Storr, head Cosmopolitan editor. Lexi, Angel, and Jenna receive praise from the judges, and despite her strong performance in the runway practices, Jade is deemed as the worst of the night by the judges.
The following day, joint head judge, Paul Sculfor, reveals the 12 girls continuing on, with Charlotte, Hayley, and Jade being eliminated from the competition. The girls who made it call home to their families and friends while expressing joy for making it into the first week of the competition, with the three girls eliminated being upset for having their dreams and hopes of becoming Britain's Next Top Model end.
The episode concludes with the 12 finalists moving into their penthouse at Athenæum Hotel in Central London.

Episode 3
Original Airdate: 000000002016-01-28-0000January 28, 2016
Directly following Jasmine's elimination, the girls decide to speak about the bed situation, where the eight girls who were called before the bottom three in the previous panel brought up the idea of switching beds after every elimination. This frustrated Alex and Billie, as they were just in the bottom three minutes prior to this discussion; they felt rushed, like they didn't even have a chance to put their bags down and take a breath after just being in the bottom three. After this argument, the girls take a second to cool down, where they are greeted with their first mail of the episode.
The following day, the girls show up at a scrapyard where they learn they will be shooting for Leslie Claire by fashion photographer and fellow judge, Nicky Johnston. On set, Bethan, Lexi, and Angel receive universal praise for their performances, however, Jenna struggles by appearing frightened and uncomfortable, which results in her becoming very emotional. Amreen also struggles, once again, for not bringing enough energy to set, and being unable to translate her beauty to film.
After the photo shoot, the girls head back to the apartment where Billie decides to apologize for her aggressive behavior over the bed situation, which happened the night before. Following this, the girls receive yet another mail. The following day, the girls learn they will be performing in a music video for The Shires. During the rehearsals for the choreography, Billie struggles due to her low self-esteem and not feeling comfortable with dancing. The choreographer, Alex, and Angel all comfort Billie, encouraging her that she can do great things if she puts her head in it. After this, the girls continue rehearsing, which is when another girl, Amreen, decides not to participate. Unlike Billie, however, Amreen decides not to participate, stating that she feels embarrassed dancing. The choreographer once again comforts the girl struggling, which results in Lexi becoming frustrated for Amreen and Billie being "selfish". Lexi confronts Amreen and Billie in front of all of the other girls, asking them whether or not they're going to practice the choreographer, and if not, for them to stop wasting everyone else's time. They initially reply that they aren't going to practice or perform in the video, but after taking some time for themselves, they both give it another go. Jenna is seen helping Amreen and Billie catch up on what they missed.
With dance lessons finally over, the girls get ready to perform their routines with the country duo. Whoever the choreographers, Rebecca Walker and Laura White, think performed the best will win the challenge. Right before doing the actual dancing performance in front of The Shires, Amreen walks off set, claiming she can't do it. The ten other girls, without Amreen, continue on with the music video. After finishing the video, the four girls who were named the best by the choreographers were: Lexi, Jenna, Alex, and Angel. The one girl who was deemed the best between these four girls, however, was Angel.
The following day, the girls head backstage of panel to view their pictures from the scrapyard photo shoot. Meanwhile, the judges discuss Amreen and Billie, though more so Amreen, showing attitude on set of the music video. The judges are repulsed by the fact Amreen walked off set. The judges then decide to review all eleven girls' pictures from the scrapyard shoot. Megan, Bethan, Chloe, Jessica, Angel, and Lexi receive universal praise. On the other hand, Billie, Alex, and Jenna receive mixed feedback, and Amreen receives virtually no praise at all for her picture.
After reviewing the pictures, Angel is deemed the best of the week. Megan and Chloe are then called safe followed by Bethan, Jessica, and Lexi The last two girls called safe before the bottom three are Alex and Billie. The bottom three of the week consists of: Amreen, Georgia, and Jenna. Right before the judges decide to review Jenna's work up to that point in the competition, Amreen interrupts, faces the two girls in the bottom three with her, states she shouldn't be in the competition, and walks off set. Georgia and Jenna walk out following her before the judges are seen reviewing Jenna and Georgia's work. After discussing her place in the competition with the fellow two girls in the bottom three with her, Amreen asks to speak with Nicky Johnston backstage, where she ultimately decides to quit from the competition, stating that she doesn't have the confidence to become Britain's Next Top Model, and doesn't think it's fair if she potentially stays over someone who does want to model. Both Georgia and Jenna enter back into panel, in front of all the judges, where the judges reveal that neither of them will be eliminated from the competition.
