A MIDWIFE from Bournemouth has been selected to star in a new calendar claiming to feature the world’s most beautiful single people.

Clare Travis-Punter, 31, right, is the only British person to be chosen for the calendar which has received more than 45,000 submissions from members of the BeautifulPeople.com website.

Appearing alongside a 25-year-old nuclear engineer in the US navy and a 19-year-old computer engineer from Norway, Clare has already received more than 12,000 views to her profile.

The midwife from Bournemouth who studied Psychology at the University of Southampton joined the site 18 months ago.

She said: “Nearly a year and a half on, and I’ve been selected to appear in the site’s 2014 calendar. It’s all been very exciting.

“I’ve been dating a number of members some of whom I’ve stayed in contact with, but am still looking to meet someone I really have a connection with.”

BeautifulPeople.com has been described as an “elite online club” where existing members vote whether to accept aspiring members based on pictures.

Managing director of BeautifulPeople.com, Greg Hodge said: “The calendar showcases not only the most beautiful, but the most popular single people in the world.

“Not only did these stunning men and women beat our rating system but their profiles have been viewed more than 12,000 times, making them ‘Super Beautiful’ amongst our online community.”
