It's week two in Sydney for 'The Model Scouts' contestants, and the girls are in competition to appear in Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.

It's down to the contestants to pull out all the stops in the castings to impress the casting directors and secure the shows.

Ahead of the shows, they also get a refresher course in walking the catwalk from professional coach Bridget Mitchell.

She was impressed by the standard of the competition, and commented: "I cannot believe that a pack of girls like that could come from one place, I think its amazing and I think this will open a door for everybody to go scouting for models in Ireland. From the little experience they’ve had in big shows, they’ve done an amazing job for them today."

One of the designers at Australian Fashion Week, Camilla, was also complimentary about the girls: "You know what got me, the accent, they’re beautiful girls. Big models come into the showroom and I was just next, next and then I loved them...You know they were great girls to work with."

Watch 'The Model Scouts' tonight on RTÉ 2 at 9pm.
