The show took on an usual format with mostly pre-recorded photo shoots and just a few live stage appearances.

The new look swimsuit segment was presented as a swimwear photo shoot on Clifton beach where the finalists frolicked on the sandy beach showing off their summer ready bodies, and sharing their views on what a healthy body is.

For some of the contestants it was their first swimsuit shoot.

The contestants stunned in creations by fashion designer Lena Lisa.
