Jodhi Meares will be back on Next Top Model

JODHI Meares has survived her controversial no-show at the Australia's Next Top Model finale, with her Foxtel boss confirming yesterday she had a job on the series next year.

The pay-TV channel's CEO Brian Walsh slammed reports claiming executives on the model contest were "furious" after Meares pulled out of the live decider over stage fright.

"Nothing could be further from the truth. I rang Jodhi on Friday and reiterated the fact she has our full support and apologised for the media circus it's become," Walsh told Confidential yesterday.
