Victoria's Secret revealed: find out who's walking the runway and watch behind the scenes footage at this year's castings

In a shock twist last week, Rihanna, who was set to be joining Selena Gomez and The Weekend on stage as Victoria's Secret Fashion Show performers, backed out at the last minute.

With the brand having now replaced her with Ellie Goulding, the stage is finally set for the Victoria's Secret Angels to prepare for their biggest runway of the year while us mere mortals can all but wait until the morning show reviews.

In the meantine, get yourself up to date with which models are walking (...as well as those that aren't).

Despite 500 models being submitted for consideration, only 44 made it the final cut.

Jourdan Dunn, Sigrid Agren, Eniko Mihalik, Isabeli Fontana, Kelly Gale, Kasia Struss, Blanca Padilla, Grace Mahary, Ieva Laguna, Bregje Heinen and Imaan Hammam - who all walked in 2014 - are also not in tonight's line-up.
