A young woman from Anglesey, who has Bangladeshi parents, hopes to become the first Asian Miss Wales in this year's contest. Mohima Hussain, 22, is a mental health nurse from Menai Bridge and has been selected as a Miss Wales 2023 finalist.
Every year, the winner of Miss Wales is chosen over a three-day event which involves various events such as a charity ball and a catwalk show. The winner then goes on to qualify for Miss World, which is said to be the longest and largest pageant in the world.
The last time Wales won Miss World was in 1974 when Helen Morgan from Barry took the crown. Sophie Moulds from Ferndale came close in 2012 when she was placed first runner up.
