She said: “I competed in a pageant during summer of this year and was not intending to do another, but have followed the Miss Beauty UK pageant for a while as this pageant is all about mental health awareness and support.
“My goal is to empower other people to love their bodies as they are and to be open about mental health struggles, as for years I would hide away but now I use my past experiences to help others.
"I shared my mental health journey with them and secured a fully-sponsored placement into the final, which I’m so grateful for.
