A FIFTEEN year old girl from Lewannick has won a place in the semi-final of ‘Miss Junior Teen Britain’ 2018.

Annabelle Lee Leonard, a student of Oksigen Theatre and pupil at Launceston College, has beaten off competition from across Great Britain to be named as one of the semi-finalists.

Annabelle said: “I am so excited to have made it to the semi final, it is a great achievement as so many girls across the country applied.”

Teenagers from across Great Britain will compete for the crown in a spectacular grand final. The winner of Miss Junior Teen Great Britain will walk away with some incredible prizes — including £500.

The grand final of Miss Junior Teen Great Britain will be held this year at The Globe in Blackpool. The weekend of Miss Junior Teen Great Britain is set to be full of fun, with the finalists enjoying a beauty queen challenge day, a pyjama diva party and much more.

Annabelle added: “Making it to the grand final would be absolutely amazing — fingers crossed I will be able to represent Cornwall and the South West and win the Miss Junior Teen Great Britain crown in Blackpool later on in the year.”
