Scarborough woman 'delighted' to be head judge at Miss Great Britain beauty pageant

Invited for the ninth year running to join the panel of judges, Mrs Fawcett was delighted to get the chance to meet up with Scarborough's Lottie Stephens, the newly-crowned Miss Teen Great Britain.

Mrs Fawcett said: "I was so excited to meet Lottie, especially as she is only the second Scarborough woman in history to win a national beauty title.

"The only other person to do so was Michelle Robinson, who was crowned Miss Lovely Legs of Great Britain in 1982, two years after she made headline news when she was the only contestant in Miss Scarborough 1980".

Gina Broadhurst, Madeleine Roche and Larissa Palmer-Hirst were all crowned winners at the contest

Three winners were crowned at the glittering final on Friday, October 20: Madeleine Roche, from Manchester, won the Miss Great Britain title; Larissa Palmer-Hirst, from Surbiton, became Ms Great Britain, and Gina Broadhurst, from Walton-on-Thames, won the Ms Great Britain Classic crown.
