A Miss England finalist who was brutally attacked during a night out has used her platform as a beauty queen to launch a charity to help protect young women. Corel-Jo Antwhistle, 22, has started a task force which helps women during nights out after she was violently assaulted herself in Newcastle city centre.
She had enjoyed an evening out at a bar with a friend and went to McDonald's for food where a hooded thug came up and kicked her from behind. After informing a security guard what had happened, the attacker then branded her a "snitch" before he punched her in the face and tried to steal her phone.
Corel-Jo was left badly shaken up, with a split lip and ripped fingernails following the frightening unprovoked attack just before Christmas. Shockingly, Corel-Jo claims the police officer who attended the scene even asked her if her attacker was just being "flirty".
