An Edinburgh woman is hoping to represent Great Britain at the Miss Universe pageant in Central America just years after battling a serious eating disorder.
Jordan-Louise Smith, who lives in Dalry, works as a chartered accountant with Ernst & Young in the capital. She will be joining around 30 other shortlisted contestants taking part in the 2023 Miss Universe Great Britain competition in South Wales in July.
The winner will get the chance to represent Great Britain in Miss Universe in El Salvador at the end of the year. Jordan has suffered first hand with eating disorders for many years and now that she is several years into her recovery she is determined to use her platform to educate about the types, effects and misconceptions associated with the condition.
