There was a double celebration for Mansfield at the Miss England regional competition at Kelham Hall.

Chloe Rose Adkin, a 17-year-old student from the town, won the MeSheMe Top Model award and will contest the semi-finals of the Miss England contest.

Chloe, who has sung in cathedrals in France and Belgium, was sponsored by Chelcie Florence Studios – Makeup, Hair & Beauty.

She raised more than £900 for the competition’s chosen charities, Hope Against Cancer and Beauty With A Purpose.

Chloe was one of four ladies from the East Midlands chosen to model for MeSheMe, the new ethical fashion brand, which launched online at Café De Paris, London, last year.

A total of 30 ladies competed in a royal wedding guest-themed eco fashion show, where they had to create outfits from recycled materials.

Chloe will represent the MeSheMe brand in the Miss England semi-final, also at Kelham Hall, on 3rd July, where she will have the chance to make it through to the Miss England final — the only contest in the country that sends its winner to Miss World.

She also reached the semi-final stages last year, where she represented Mansfield.

Mansfield company DG Creative Flower Studio dressed the stage at the royal wedding-themed event.
