Kingston has been chosen as the international destination to which the contestants of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 19 (also known as America's Next Top Model: College Edition) will make a trip to in the later stages of the season.

The host of the reality television show, American model and media personality Tyra Banks, was in Jamaica last week doing filming.

Banks tweeted several photos of herself at the beach, some of which included new America's Next Top Model judge Robert Evans.

The two sported rastafarian coloured clothing and fake dreadlocks complete with red, black and yellow tam.

One tweet from the celebrity read: "U guessed it mon, I am irie in sexy Jamaica for #ANTM? w/ @the_robevans!"

The 19th season of America's Next Top Model is to feature 13 new contestants who are all currently enrolled in higher education. It will premiere on August 24, 2012.

Allyssa Vuelma, Brittany Brown, Darian Ellis, Destiny Strudwick, Jessie Rabideau, Kiara Belen, Kristin Kagay, Laura James, Leila Goldkuhl, Maria Tucker, Nastasia Scott, Victoria Henley and Yvonne Powless will compete in hope of a chance to start their careers in the modelling industry.
