A BEAUTY therapist whose day job is making other people look glamorous is hoping her own good looks can win her the Miss England title.
Ashlea-Vanessa Hoy, pictured, was entered for the competition without her knowledge by her mum Elaine Eastcott, of Jarwood Walk, Godmanchester.
The 23-year-old former Hinchingbrooke School pupil said: “My mum was bored at home and went on the internet and Googled ‘modelling competitions’ and came across Miss England.
“She sent my picture off then called me to say I should expect a phone call. It was quite sneaky of her but I thought it was funny and didn’t expect anything to come of it.”
But a week later, Ashlea-Vanessa, who now lives in Norwich where she works, received a call inviting her to a photo shoot at the Fresh Academy fashion studios in Watford on Sunday, April 21.

“I was so nervous that I had butterflies in my stomach,” she said. “I was scared but they were all so lovely and put me at ease.” She was photographed in a red vest, jeans and heels and her picture is due to be posted on line from Thursday, May 9 when people will be able to vote for their favourite.
Winners will take part in a semi-final at Elstree in Hertfordshire on May 25. The final is due to be held in Torquay, Devon, in June when Miss England will be crowned.
