Get your Miss Wirral entry in!

MISS England model scouts have been out in Wirral hoping to drum up interest in a competition that leads all the way to a shot at Miss World.

Current Miss England, Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge, joined her colleagues on a tour of the peninsula as they searched for beautiful women to enter the Miss Wirral competition and take part in the subsequent television documentary series.

Katrina is a serving soldier who was decorated for bravery in Iraq, but still managed to scoop the Miss England crown and represented her country in the Miss World event, held last year in Johannesburg.

She said: “It’s a long way away from my life in the army, but it’s great to rally round the troops in the search for the next Miss England. “We’ve spotted some beautiful girls in Wirral and I hope they take our advice and put themselves forward for the competition, as they definitely have the potential to go all the way to the final.”

The Wirral heat is a direct round into the Miss England finals and is being held in Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight on Thursday June 24.

Those selected will also be given the chance to feature in a documentary series following the north west heats of the national contest, shadowing and interviewing contestants, filming the final heat in each region and recording the live Miss England finale.

The closing date is March 12. To find out more, visit www.misswirral.co.uk
