In Saturday's HERALD I broke the exclusive news first that Georgia Salpa was leaving Assets for Andrea Roches's modelling agency, and today the move has finally been confirmed!
Ireland's most photographed model Georgia has left behind the company that made her who she is today, Assets Models. Owner of the company Derek Daniels is said to be "really annoyed" about the depature that is set to land Georgia a massive lingerie campaign in the coming weeks.
A source at the agency revealed to Miss Red that Georgia moved to AR models because Andrea made her an offer she couldn't refuse. An insider revealed:
"A deal has definitely been made. Andrea has some good contacts in England, and has promised to get Georgia more deals now that she's got great publicity in the UK since dating Calum. Assets were never going to do enough for her."

The surprising move has confused people in the industry as former model Andrea deals with mostly high fashion shoots and catwalk shows. Although Georgia may be able to pull off strutting her stuff down the runway, a source revealed that Andrea has other things in mind for the half Greek beauty.
"There will be no more press calls for Georgia. She wants to have a big brand behind her, just like Roz Purcell is the face of Gosh. Andrea has great contacts in department stores too, we think she will land a Lingerie deal."No matter what direction Georgia's career takes next, it is clear that she will be making a lot more money. Since hooking up with bad boy Calum the stunning model has upped her rates for both press calls and public appearances.
An insider says she changed her price for an appearance from €300 to €500 and she was also doubling her prices for a press call. "You wouldn't move from the biggest agency in the country if money wasn't involved." the source added.
Although Assets is being credited for finding Georgia and putting her on the path to stardom, insiders admit that the model walking out and going to a rival agency has been like a "slap in the face" to owner Derek.

| Daniella and Louise have also moved to AR |
Meanwhile Fade Street beauty Louise (22), who previously said that she was "too short to be a model" has also signed on to work for AR. Although she has no previous modelling experience and has never strutted down a runway, sources say she is highly popular as a commercial model.
An insider said Louise will be perfect for commerical jobs:
"Louise is really only after getting into modelling because of Fade Street, but she has a pretty face and that's all you need for press calls."
Louise's pal Daniella (21), who recently presented Oxegen TV for the first time, has also joined the AR team. The Irish beauties are now on the same book as the stunning Roz Purcell, Pippa O'Connor, Emma Waldron and Rosanna Davison.
