Ella Grace is crowned 'Miss Lincolnshire 2019' and is now off to the Miss England contest




A 17-year-old student has won the Miss Lincolnshire title - and is now preparing for the Miss England final.

Ella Grace Bayley, who studies in Stamford, competed against 16 other young women in nail-biting rounds which tested their speaking and performance skills.

At the end of the regional final, held at Kelham Hall on Saturday, a delighted Ella Grace was crowned with a sparkling tiara and wore the Miss Lincolnshire sash.

"It was amazing and unforgettable, and I loved every single second of the day, but I really didn't think I would win," said Ella Grace, who had raised more than £1,000 for her chosen good cause, and also took the 'Miss Charity' title during the contest.

"There was a spoken round with questions that we had to answer, and we had no idea what the questions would be," she added.

"I was able to talk to the judges about my charity, Beauty with a Purpose, and about why I felt that I would be the best Miss Lincolnshire."

Ella Grace lives close to Stamford and as part of her charity fundraising she held a raffle in The Crown in Great Casterton where she works. She studies at the Eastern School of Performing Arts (ESPA) in St Peter's Hill, Stamford.

Ella Grace will now go on to compete at the Miss England final this summer, when she will be up against regional winners from across the country.

"I'm so excited," she said. "At school I was very shy, but this experience has helped me to grow in confidence."
