A TEENAGER has fought off competition from all across the UK to take home the prestigious Miss Teen Pageant Girl crown.

Beth Walker, from Northwich, won the national pageant title at a glamorous event held at The Park Hall Hotel in Lancashire.

The 19-year-old recently finished her two-year extended diploma in business studies and accounting, before landing her dream job as an apprentice for an estate agent.

In the run up to the pageant finals, alongside her studies, Beth put her Miss Teen Pageant Girl Cheshire finalist title to good use by volunteering in the community and raising awareness for causes close to her heart.

Beth said: "I have been competing under the Pageant Girl umbrella for four years now and have loved every single second.

"I can’t believe how much I’ve achieved and how many opportunities I have been given.

"My favourite quote relating to my pageant journey is 'opportunities don’t just happen, you create them'."

Beth impressed the judges with her stage presence and bubbly personality, as well as winning the be-you-tiful award.

But she hasn’t just taken home the crown – she has also made lifelong memories and friends she hopes to keep forever.

Holly Pirrie, director of Miss Pageant Girl, said: "I am so pleased for Beth, she truly deserved to win the Miss Teen Pageant Girl crown.

"Beth is a beautiful girl, inside and out.

"We know she will be an excellent representative of the Miss Pageant Girl organisation and she has a very exciting year ahead."

Beth has also taken home a prize package including a £500 voucher to spend at The Dress Studio, a Queens Retreat in a glamorous hotel with her new Sister Queen, hair products from Duncan Fisher, make-up products from Patti Baston, a pair of false lashes from LD Authentic, earrings from Earring Envy, and several other fantastic prizes.
