A glamour model from south Devon is to turn her head to business on a new TV show to be screened this week.
Lauren Pope, 23, has been selected to appear in the TV series Tycoon with her business idea to sell clip-in hair extensions made from real hair, rather than acrylic.
The human hair is sourced from India where women shave their heads to give thanks to the Hindu god Vishnu.
And any money raised will be given back to the communities from where it is sourced to help raise funds for education projects.
Ms Pope, who has appeared in newspapers and on Playboy TV UK, says she is even considering giving up her career in topless modelling to concentrate on her business if her performance on the show impresses the judges.
Speaking to the Herald Express she said: "It is really hard to tell how I am going to get on because everyone has got some really good ideas but then I know I have got a really good product as well.
"I chose hair extensions because I have always had to make my own and my design was also one I used to make for friends and family," she added.
