NOT many four-year-olds can boast of modelling contracts and celebrity friends.
But then Luca Benbrook is no ordinary youngster.
His cute curls and adorable smile stood out from more than 10,000 entries in a special competition.
He won the Baby K modelling contest, run by Gurgle magazine and Mothercare, to win a photoshoot with Myleene Klass.
Luca, of Hessle, features in the latest edition of Gurgle alongside the singer to launch her latest range of Baby K clothing.
Mum Amelia Benbrook, 34, said: "We couldn't believe it when he won.
"He had his hair done and they really treated him well.
"They had sweets and music at the photoshoot and made it really fun.
"It was in these really posh studios in London and the whole time he was there everyone was really encouraging."
Amelia, who lives with husband Richard, 45, and their other son Tristan, two, in Westbourne Grove, Hessle, found out about the competition when she received an email from Mothercare.
She uploaded a picture on Facebook and crossed her fingers that she would hear something back.
A few months before the closing date, she received an email to say Luca was a finalist.
Amelia said: "They said he was in the final 12 and asked me to email some more pictures.
"I just couldn't believe it when they told me.
"From all the entries, they had picked Luca. There were about 10,000 entries, so he was really lucky to be selected."
In the end, judges decided to give the prize to two boys and two girls and lucky Luca was one of them.
In March, he was whisked off to London to be treated like a celebrity and pose for photographs with Myleene Klass.
"She was really lovely," said Amelia. "She was really down to earth and very chatty.
"She is as beautiful in real life as she seems on television and in pictures too.
"Myleene has two little ones herself, so she was very good with the kids – she was playing with them and making them laugh."
The edition Luca features in was released a few days ago and Amelia and Richard rushed out to buy copies.
She said: "It is over six pages with lots of different pictures with Luca and the others in different outfits.
"There is an interview with the kids as well as Myleene talking about the clothes.
"We bought lots of copies for all the family and we're really pleased with how it looks."
Part of Luca's prize included a modelling contract with an agency.
In the few weeks he has been signed to them, Luca has already gone back to London for another photoshoot for the Early Learning Centre.
"I don't think he realises how well he has done," said Amelia.
"He knows he won the competition and he had a good laugh at the photoshoot.
"He clearly enjoyed it as he keeps asking 'when can we go to London again?'"
