Burnham's Matt Bowkett scrapes through to
next round of TV series
The
nerves were starting to show on the face of Burnham-On-Sea fashion
student Matt Bowkett on Thursday night (February 2nd) when he
only just managed to scrape through to the next round of Sky One's
reality TV show Project Catwalk.

Burnham-On-Sea.com exclusively revealed last month, Matt, 21,
of Stoddens Road, is bidding for fashion stardom by appearing
as a contestant on the popular TV show.
After
getting the thumbs-up from the judges in the first three episodes
of the series, Matt only just managed to squeeze through to the
last eight contestants on this week's programme.
Presenter
and judge Liz Hurley told him: "You need more confidence
and could do better, but you've scraped through."
Her
comments came after a tense programme in which he was part of
a three-person team designing a dress for music star Kelly Osbourne.
The
pop star did not like the dress they created and the leader of
the team - Lesley - was voted off by the judges.

it was touch-and-go as to whether Matt would be voted off instead.
Talking
to Burnham-On-Sea.com after the show, he told us: "That was
one of the most nerve-wracking episodes in the whole series...
but just you wait to see what happens in next week's programme!"
Matt
was watching the show with 20 of his friends at Westminster University
in London on Thursday, where he is studying a fashion degree.
"Every
Thursday night about 20 or 30 of us get together to watch the
programme. It's a great atmosphere."
He
described working with Kelly Osbourne as "intruiging"
and said that meeting her was "nerve-wracking."
Project
Catwalk gives young fashion designers the chance of a lifetime
to have their collection shown at this year's London Fashion Week.
With £20,000 and a feature in Elle magazine up for
grabs, competition is intense.
Project
Catwalk airs on Sky One at 8pm every Thursday. Burnham-On-Sea.com
is following Matt's progress during the series.
