text: She's the Benefits Street resident who wants to become Britain's next top supermodel. And now Sherrell Dillion has revealed she has landed herself a place in a top competition. However, the single mother-of-two, who was featured in the hit Channel 4 series which saw her desperately searching for work, now says she is technically homeless. Scroll down for video . Sherrell Dillion from Benefits Street has been given a place in the Top Model of Colour competition, however, her good news is marred by the fact that she is currently homeless . Sherrell starred on Benefits Street alongside White Dee and she says she feels happiness for her co-star . Sheena says she has nowhere to live following a mice infestation at her home in Eva Road, which is adjacent to where the show was filmed in James Turner Street, Winson Green. She is currently living in temporary accommodation in Handsworth. But a real life rags-to-riches story could still unfold for Sherrell as she has now won a place in the final of modelling competition Top Model Of Colour UK. She added: 'Winning a place in the final is a huge thing for me. It is a massive competition and past winners have gone on to big things.' She continued: 'I'm a single mum who wants to do the very best for her kids. I have been striving for a career in modelling for many years and I hope this will be the big break for me.'

Her plight is a far cry from that of White Dee, who is said to be close to making her first £1million after becoming a break-out star of the controversial documentary series. Yet Sherrell, who has brought up her children Terrell, 10, and Kiwi, five, on her own, wishes her former neighbour nothing but the best. She said: 'While White Dee has enjoyed a lot of success, it never really took off for me. 'But Dee still keeps in touch and gives me advice. I am not jealous of her, she's a lovely woman and I wish her all the success in the world. 'But I would like to have used the show to have bettered myself. I hoped things would take off for me as well.' Sherrell shows off her long limbs as she poses on the wall  outside of her house . Sherrell at home with one of her children who she raises on her own . She added: 'I recently became homeless after the house I was living in became infested with mice. The last straw was when I saw a mouse jump out of a cereal packet. 'I just took my kids out of there and I haven't been back. I am now living in temporary accommodation in Handsworth while I find a permanent home.' Sherrell, a former takeaway worker, always dreamed of being a model and was scouted at the age of 22 but then suffered an ectopic pregnancy that left her bedridden for months. The final of Top Model of Colour UK takes place on May 30 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in the heart of the West End. Previous winners have bee signed by major mainstream modelling agencies and graced some of the top magazines in the world. The winner will receive a modelling contract, jewellery, clothes and shoes as well as other prizes.
