After years of bulling about her, size 22 Tess is having the last laugh.
The curvaceous beauty proved her critics wrong after she was signed by top model agency MiLK Model Management.
At 5ft 5in and weighing 18st 5lb, Tess was always told she was too short and too big to model and faced constant rejection in the fashion world.
But the voluptuous 22-year-old defied the odds by becoming one of the top plus-size models in the world.

Now, the brunette beauty has been flaunting her fuller figure on the cover of high-fashion magazine SLiNK.
And after years of abuse suffered at the hands of cruel bullies she is finally body-confident and hoping to empower other big women.

“People assume that being my size is a death sentence”

Speaking to the London-based magazine, she said: "I want to empower girls in a different way. I’m lucky that I can do that with my body right now, but I’d like to do that with words."
The feisty game-changer, who has a Miss Piggy tattoo on her right arm, has a blossoming personal life too.
The Mississippi-born model got engaged to Australian businessman Nick Holliday last year and the couple have a nine-year-old son.
In the interview with SLiNK she was forthcoming about her active sex life.

She said: "I think people need to be taught that when you get past a size sixteen you still have sex and you have sex a lot and that you have healthy relationships.
"That you live your life, have fun.
"People assume that fat people live miserable lives, that being my size is a death sentence."
She also hopes her example will help others feel more body-confident and will stop the torrent of abuse aimed at bigger women.
"When I was little I’ve always been very open with my body," she said. "You don’t realise there’s an issue with your body until someone tells you there is, until someone tells you you’re fat."

Tess's big break came in 2011, when A&E chose her to be the face of their documentary series, Heavy, after discovering her online.
She then managed to land a contract with a top modelling agency because of her huge social media presence.
Since then she has modelled for brands including Domino Dollhouse, SWAK, Jessica Louise Clothing, Evil Pawn Jewellery and Black Cat Bikinis.
The fashionista has also racked up over 400,00 followers on Instagram and jokes that her next step is "world domination".
