North East model aiming to be crowned Miss England
Former Miss Newcastle Vicky Turner is in the national final
A North East model will represent the region when she competes for the title of Miss England.
Vicky Turner was crowned Miss Newcastle last year meaning she gained entry to the 2016 national competition.
The final will take place over the weekend of July 19-21 and in preparation the 20-year-old has been doing charity work, including a sky dive with funds raised for Beauty With a Purpose.
The charity is associated with Miss World and raises cash for humanitarian causes around the globe.
Vicky, originally from Sheffield but now living in Newcastle city centre , is delighted to be representing her adopted region in the final.
She said: “I’m nervous but also excited. There was less pressure when I was doing Miss Newcastle, I never expected to win, it was just a bit of fun. This time it feels a lot different.
“I will be up against girls from across the country but I’m going to enjoy it. It will be a fantastic way of capping a rollercoaster year. I’ve been able to do so much with the title of Miss Newcastle and have been able to raise money for great charities like Cash For Kids.
“At the final of this year’s competition I told all the girls it’s been an incredible year with all of the charity work and modelling. It has been unbelievable.”
Vicky’s whirlwind 12 months have seen her walk the catwalk of London Fashion Week and there’s even talk of her jetting of to Milan for an Italian show.
Journalism student Vicky admits it has been quite hard juggling her studies with life in front of the camera but as she nears the end of her three-year course at Northumbria University she has her sights set on a First-class degree and a career in TV.
But first she is enjoying life on the catwalk.
She said: “I do want to do more pageantry, especially based in the UK. And I’d like to do full-time modelling, at least for a couple of years to see how it goes.
“Former Miss Newcastle Sophie Gradon is on TV at the moment and a lot of the girls have gone on to be successful models.
“But so far it’s been such an honour to represent Newcastle and the North East.”
