'Bullies punched me and called me Godzilla but now I'm a model'

A beauty queen from Liverpool was called ‘Godzilla’ at school because of her height - but now she’s the tallest ever contestant in Miss England's history.

Kathryn Turner, 24, from Aigburth, was bullied throughout her teenage years over her 6ft2 height, leaving her with low confidence and self-esteem. By the age of seven she already towered above her friends and wore clothes aimed at girls twice her age as she struggled to fit into Disney princess dresses.

Kathryn was then picked on throughout secondary school by children who branded her ‘Godzilla’ due to her size. She continued to struggle after leaving school too and claims during a night out she was once called a man by a group of girls in a club and was even punched in a random attack on another occasion.
