Scarborough woman celebrates her 10th year judging Miss Great Britain
Scarborough's Sally-Ann Fawcett has celebrated her tenth year as head judge at the Miss Great Britain pageant.
Sally-Ann first joined the panel back in 2014, and on Friday October 18, in Leicester, helped welcome 68 contestants from across the country as they competed for the three titles: Miss Great Britain (for ages 18-30), Ms Great Britain (31-45) and Ms Great Britain Classic (45+).
"I'm just as honoured now as I was when I was first asked to judge back in 2014," said Sally-Ann, who is herself a former finalist for Miss Scarborough and Miss York. "Since the new age categories were introduced it has been a revelation to meet women of all ages and backgrounds and listen to their incredibly inspiring stories and platforms before getting on stage to compete in such an unashamedly glamorous final."
Over the years Sally-Ann has judged with the likes of Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannantyne, Celebrity Big Brother's Danielle Lloyd, reality star Jake Quckenden and, this year, former Miss Universe GB and Big Brother finalist Noky Simbani.
The 2024 winners crowned on Friday were: Ava Morgan, from Ayr, chosen as Miss Great Britain; Emma Powell of Cardiff, Ms Great Britain; and Stoke's Debbie Hughes, Ms Great Britain Classic.
