Meet Me – Jessica Bailey, Miss England Finalist from Shrewsbury, Shropshire

By 17th October 2025 No Comments

Hi, I’m Jessica Bailey, a proud Miss England finalist from the beautiful town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, home to Charles Darwin. I’ve lived here my whole life and love making the most of the stunning countryside that surrounds my home. My family story is really special — my parents met on holiday in Greece, and my mother moved to Shrewsbury soon after to start a life together.

I work as a nursery practitioner and am currently completing my Level 3 apprenticeship, learning how to support young children, including those with special educational needs. I hope to make a real difference in the lives of the children I care for, helping them grow, learn, and thrive. Every fortnight, I take the children I look after to a local care home, where we play games, sing songs, and do craft activities with the residents — this is something very special to me.

Outside of work, I have a wide range of hobbies and achievements. I am a dancer,  and I did gymnastics for 5 years and competed in gymnastic competitions, and I’ve competed internationally in stone skimming alongside my father, Gary Bailey, a successful champion who recently won the 2025 Welsh Championships, 2025 Swiss Championships, 2024 Berlin Masters, and the British title twice (2016 and 2023). I was proud to win the women’s under-18 section at the World Stone Skimming Championships in 2017.

This year, I tried pageantry for the first time, and absolutely loving every second! entering Miss Shropshire, where I was second runner-up, and then advancing to the Miss England semi-finals, where I was honoured to be a judges’ choice. I’m also raising funds for breast cancer charities and creating fundraisers, inspired by my grandmother, a survivor, and other family members affected by the disease.

Through my Miss England journey, I hope to inspire others, give back to my community, and make a real difference — from planting seeds of hope in young children’s lives to supporting families affected by cancer.
