Last night Talent Management sat down to the forth episode of modelling show Dirty Sexy Things’. But while you wait for our weekly review of the show, we thought we’d treat you to another model profile – this time, we get to know more about the elusive male model BB.

So, what’s the number one thing we all want to know about BB? Where he got the name from of course: “Whilst rehearsing for the Will Young ‘04 tour, I was given the name BB by the dancers and Will,” he explains. “I was running around the studio in my underwear because they said my thigh muscles were like a horse’s and I was making horse noises so they were like ‘ooo, you’re Black Beauty’.”

BB was born in Zaire, Africa and spent his early years in Switzerland and Paris before moving to England, where the French-speaking stunner grew up in Chelsea, London and became a very successful commercial dancer.

Having performed with amazing artists including Alexandra Burke, GA, Beyonce, Kylie and Nicole Scherzinger, BB now has his heart set on breaking boundaries within the modelling industry.

Although BB has been modelling for just a matter of months, he has still managed to bag plenty of high profile modelling jobs, including GQ, James Tudor and B-Rude, and has posed alongside modelling greats Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek and Omahyra Mota.

But of all the shoots he’s done so far, which has been his favourite we wonder? “My favourite shoot was with Perou and it was in Iceland,” he says. “I don’t know what it was. There was just something in that moment, it just all clicked. I was out of my body looking down at the moment with the waves and the black sand, Deborah, Andy with the camera and Perou.”

BB goes on to say that his proudest achievement so far was being signed to a modelling agency and the work he’s achieved as a dance.

Dirty Sexy Things airs on Mondays at 10pm on E4, but if you can’t wait to hear more from this model, then follow BB on Twitter @DirtySexyBB.
