Buns, bottom, backside, call it what you will, but a Putney woman can boast the best in the country.

Despite rear-ly tough competition Yolande Elliot showed off her best ass-et to beat eight other female finalists in the Show Me Your sloggi UK Rear of the Year competition.

The 22-year-old strutted her stuff with 16 other men and women at last night's final held at the CC Club, Piccadilly Circus, after being whittled down from an initial 5,500 entrants.

The contest's judges included talent scouts from Storm Model Agency, sloggi's head of advertising and psychologist Dr David Holmes.

But judges decided Yolande's grace and ladylike demeanour beat the rest of the entrants.

The swimwear fashion designer entered the competition after her mum spotted the contest in More magazine.

She said: "I was nervous at first, it felt a bit strange when they presented us with the tiny underwear and walking around in it in a club was an odd experience.

"But I'm used to wearing a bikini so I'm not too shy."

Yolande added: "I am thrilled, excited and incredibly proud to win, I can't wait to go to Munich at the end of October and my mum is so excited as she encouraged me to enter."

Thanks to her success Yolande says she would now consider a career in modelling.

The sloggi competition has been running for the past six months, across the world there have been 72,000 entrants from 29 different countries.
