'We worked with Vikki on The Elite Model Look Competition in Shanghai. It was a difficult show with very little time for on stage rehearsal's. Vikki worked unbelievably hard to make the show better than anything we had any right to expect. On top of this she was never anything but smiley and a joy to work with.'
