*Trigger warning for those not keen on discussions of suicide and body image issues* Fashion icon Stephen Wakefield is back to re-live the traumatic Australia’s Next Top Model Season 6. The season that gave us THAT iconic moment where Sarah Murdoch named the wrong winner at the live final. Lime green Ford Fiesta's aside, this season is a wild ride. The show first aired on Foxtel in 2010 and was adapted from the American original series with iconic host Tyra Banks. Stephen's cringe of the week is his cat waking him up at 3am and the two also discuss M.I.A's tin foil bucket hat collection.
