A Newcastle student who was catapulted to the Miss England final has opened up about what the pageant was really like and how she feels about the bikini round making a comeback for the first time in more than a decade.
Corel-Jo Antwhistle, 21, is all too aware that there can be a stereotype when it comes to competing in pageants. But fresh off the back of the Miss England final, the Northumbria University student is quick to dispel any assumptions that those who take part are just a pretty face.
Corel-Jo, from Gosforth, was selected as a wildcard to compete in the semi-final of the famous competition and impressed judges to make it into the final held in Birmingham earlier this month. Although she didn't win the overall pageant, Corel-Joe's impressive fundraising efforts helped to land her the title of Miss England Charity Queen after raising £ 7,449 in just seven weeks for charity 'Beauty With a Purpose.'
