– 18 May 2017The eleventh cycle of Britain's Next Top Model premiered on 16 March 2017 on Lifetime. The judging panel from the show's previous cycle remained unchanged. This cycle introduced challenges in which contestants could be granted immunity during their weekly eliminations. 22 year-old Talulah-Eve Brown made history in the series after being the first openly transgender contestant to compete on the show.
The prizes for this cycle included a modelling contract with Models 1, a fashion spread in Cosmopolitan magazine, nation-wide advertising campaigns for Sleek Makeup and Paul Edmonds along with a yearly supply of both brand's products, as well as additional campaigns for Colgate, Dorothy Perkins, and boohoo.
The winner of the competition was 18-year-old Olivia Wardell from Romsey, Hampshire.

The judges reviewed the audition tapes from their list of semi-finalists, and made their selection for the final 12. The finalists arrived in London and met the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Fattah Storr, who explained that they would be walking in a show for Cosmopolitan FashFest later that night. The day after the show the models had their promotional photos taken by judge and photographer Nicky Johnston, and later moved into the model apartment, where Talulah-Eve came out as transgender. At panel, Abbey Clancy revealed that no one would be eliminated that week.
The contestants began their week with a pastel photo shoot at Brigit's Bakery in London for Patisserie de Bain body products, where they each had to embody one of the brand's seven scents. They later had a vlogging challenge in which they had to advertise an assortment of random products. Eleanor was chosen as the challenge winner, and won immunity for the upcoming elimination. She was also allowed to take Abby and Chloe with her for a girls' night out. At judging, Tallulah received best photo. Anastasia, Talulah-Eve and Victoria landed in the bottom three, and Anastasia was eliminated from the competition.
The remaining contestants received makeovers at the Paul Edmonds salon, and had a go see challenge with designers Phillip Armstrong and Tony Burke the following day. Olivia was chosen as the best performer, winning immunity for the upcoming elimination and a dress from the designers. She was also allowed to take Jennifer and Tallulah with her on a luxury cruise in River Thames. For the photo shoot the models were driven to an old estate in the countryside, and had to pose in groups to create cinemagraphs embodying different products of the Garnier Ultimate Blends range. At elimination, Bianca received picture of the week. Abby, Chloe, and Tallulah landed in the bottom three, and Abby was eliminated from the competition.
