Miss England
Author: Nina
The new Miss England was revealed to nation on Friday, when Laura Coleman was crowned the beauty pag
eant winner. The 22 year old graduate, is a former Miss Derby, and had to compete against 49 other British contestants to win the coveted national title and £5000 in prize money.
Laura
is in a long line of successful beauty competitors. Her mother, Dena, 56, a Miss UK finalist in 1975 and a former Miss Coventry and Miss East Anglia, won a total of 15 titles in her career as a professional beauty pageant winner. And her grandmother, Irene Patrick, 85 won the Miss Lovely Legs competition in the 19
40’s and was a Miss Army pin up. She even wore a dress that her mother had worn in 1975 Miss UK finals, which she believes brought her luck during the heat stages in this year’s competition.
Coleman lists her top interests as culture, politics, fashion, charity and she is a keen ballet and tap dancer. She graduated last week from De Montfort University in Leicester last week with a 2:1 in Business and Mar
keting.
Next stop for Coleman is the Miss World comp in the Ukraine later this year, where she will be representing England.
