He began a successful modeling career but it was not long before he was picked out for stardom by Channel 4 when he won Model of the Week on The Big Breakfast. Since then his personality and cheeky boyish charm have been noticed and he is in demand for numerous presenting roles. Vernon was the co-presenter for BBC2's Top of the Pops Plus which was a Pops branded show, in addition to fronting the spin off series Top of the Pops@ Play for Play UK.
