Birmingham girls 'not pretty enough'

Beauty contest officials chose a model from Stoke-on-Trent to represent Birmingham because they could not find anyone pretty enough from the city.

Miss Great Britain organisers picked Sophie Wilson to represent the city in a heat despite her only connection being an ex-boyfriend who lived there.



The 18-year-old IT student said she thought it was unfair on Birmingham's beauties.

A spokesman for Miss Great Britain said: "We were desperately looking for a Miss GB entrant from Birmingham but in truth, there was no-one suitable who entered."

The competition was later won by Rachael Tennant, from Aberdeen.
