A six-year-old girl is preparing to jet off to Las Vegas to compete in a beauty pageant after winning her first ever professional meet in Morley.
Grace Mthati, who lives with her mum Konstantina Michailova in Lower Wortley, Leeds, was crowned Petite Miss Diamond UK in October after being awarded first place in her age group in what was her debut pageant. The youngster, who goes to Five Lanes Primary School, had taken part in one charity event before the big competition.
Konstantina said they arrived at Morley Town Hall on October 27 with few expectations. "We did not expect much because I had spoken to the other mums in the group and their kids had been trying to win it for two to three years," she said.
