These girls are where It's at;

Like a gathering storm, their names have been filling the nightlife columns of newspapers in recent months and their pictures and profiles have been covering pages in the top fashion glossies – but who are Ireland’s hottest IT girls?






GEORGIA SALPA

With her long dark hair, 25in waist, 30F chest and stunning Greek looks - it’s no wonder that Georgia Salpa has become one of Ireland’s most popular models. But her appearances on the TV show Celebrity Salon - and her subsequent romance with Calum Best - have catapulted the dark haired beauty onto the front page of nearly every tabloid. When Best asked to marry her over cocktails on a recent episode, it sparked what could only be described as a media feeding frenzy.Even without an engagement ring, of all the celebrities, Georgia looks set to benefit most from her involvement in the series. OK! Magazine approached the model about doing a shoot after seeing photographs of her with Best. There are rumours of Channel 5 contacting her about a new series of Big Brother.


UNA HEALY


Saturdays babe Una Healy says Irish girls are the best looking on the planet, but there's just one exception - her. Gorgeous Una, 28, has a perfect face, killer curves, and a body to die for. She even smashed her way into the top 20 in the FHM Sexiest Women of 2010, coming in at 19. But despite all this, and her raunchy stage act with one of the hottest girl groups around, Una claims she's just not sexy. She said: "I don't feel like this famous, sexy pop star at all. I just don't think like that. I'm not big-headed at all and neither are any of the other girls in the group.
When I look in the mirror I don't feel like this sex kitten or something.." Una, from Thurles, Co Tipperary, admits there's no competition out there, with Girls Aloud on a break, but denies The Saturdays are rolling in cash. "We still have a long way to go, we're not going to sit back and rest on our laurels or anything. I'm extremely proud of our success and I want to maintain it. And we're lucky in that we have some of the most dedicated fans in the world."
