Alice Burdeu (born 27 January 1988) is an Australian former fashion model who won the

third cycle of Australia's Next Top Model
.

Early life

Burdeu was born in

Victoria. Prior to auditioning for Australia's Next Top Model, she worked as a customer service trainee with Telstra
.

Australia's Next Top Model

Burdeu first came to the spotlight as a contestant on the

third cycle of Australia's Next Top Model. She quickly gained the favor of the judges, notably Alex Perry, though some concerns were raised early on in the competition due to her low body mass index
. In a live finale broadcast on 5 June 2007, Burdeu was named winner of the cycle based on votes cast by the judges and by Australia's Next Top Model viewers.

Burdeu's prizes as the winner included a one-year contract with Priscilla's Model Management, a contract to become the face of Napoleon Perdis, an eight-page fashion feature in Vogue Australia, a trip to New York City, and a Ford Fiesta XR4. Her campaign photos for Napoleon Perdis were displayed in the makeup artist's stores across Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the guaranteed eight-page editorial, Vogue Australia featured Burdeu on the cover of the magazine—an honor that has not been bestowed on any other Australia's Next Top Model winner.[2]

Burdeu made a cameo appearance in the penultimate episode of

cycle 5
as a guest judge.
