'I was called Godzilla' by bullies at school, now I could be Miss England'

A 6ft 2ins beauty queen who was branded "Godzilla" by cruel classmates at school has beaten the bullies to become the tallest ever contestant in Miss England history. Kathryn Turner, 24, was left with low confidence and self-esteem after relentlessly being teased about her height during her teenage years.

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 evil kids who branded her a “circus freak” and “Godzilla” due to her size.

And during nights out from the age of 18, she was once called a man by a group of girls in a club and was even punched in a random attack. Despite years of bullying, Kathryn bravely overcame her tormentors by being able to embrace her 6ft 2ins stature and size 9 feet.
