Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour reveals fashion industry work

Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour has revealed how he worked in the fashion industry.

The 18-year-old is one of Chelsea's brightest young stars after a terrific start to his first-team career this season.

And it seems the young Scot has also been turning heads off the pitch.

"I got a call from my agent and he was just saying 'We got a call from Burberry, they're asking if you'd like to do some modelling'," Gilmour said.

"So my dad phoned me and said 'What would you think of doing it', so I'm giving it a bit, saying 'Of course', like bantering with him, and then I get phone call from my agent saying you'll be meeting up tomorrow with Burberry. So I say 'Why's that?' And he said 'You're modelling for them, did your dad not say?'

"So I ended up doing a few shots for Burberry, it was good, something different, but it was funny, I got a bit of stick."
