"If I win it would be absolutely amazing and for me personally, to do a collection with Flannels would be insane.

“I am just so grateful to the BBC for considering me to be on the show and for picking me as one of the top nine creatives in the UK.

“It has opened so many doors for us and I feel like the business is improving so much. I have also improved as a business woman.”

The final of “The Drop” will be aired tonight at 9pm on BBC Three.
