Evanjelin Elchmanar to Represent the Multicultural City of Birmingham in Miss England finals
3 weeks ago
Press Release For Immediate Release
The newly crowned Miss Birmingham 2025, Evanjelin Elchmanar, will proudly represent the vibrant and diverse city of Birmingham at the Miss England National Final this November being hosted over two days , 20th & 21st November at the Grand Station Wolverhampton.
Evanjelin, a full-time model and charity founder, is the driving force behind Climate X Change, a non-profit organisation that has raised over £100,000 for sustainable, community-led environmental projects. Her long-term vision is to expand this work internationally, particularly in Sri Lanka, where she aims to create sustainable employment opportunities for single mothers.
“Representing Birmingham is such a proud moment for me, especially as I bring my story, passions, and purpose to the Miss England stage,” said Evanjelin. “My mission is to be a voice for diversity, sustainability, and self-love — because beauty isn’t just about what we see on the exterior; it’s about how we show up for ourselves, for others, and for the world around us.”
Currently based in Moseley, a leafy Birmingham suburb known for its creativity and cultural richness, Evanjelin enjoys sharing that J.R.R. Tolkien once lived there — with the area inspiring parts of his legendary Lord of the Rings novels.
Born in Paris as the city’s first Christmas baby of the new millennium, Evanjelin is of Sri Lankan heritage. Her family’s journey took her from Greece and France to the UK, where she grew up as the youngest of three siblings.
Her passion for the arts led her to Toronto, Canada, where she studied acting and TV presenting at Tafft College. During this time, she also developed a passion for cooking and health, inspired by a personal health challenge that reshaped her perspective on nutrition and lifestyle.
Beyond pageantry and modelling, Evanjelin is a singer, pianist, pageant coach, and soon-to-be entrepreneur — with plans to launch her own organic haircare line. She continues to develop her presenting career while remaining committed to charitable projects that make a lasting impact.
With her unique combination of talent, purpose, and multicultural heritage, Evanjelin will now carry Birmingham’s name onto the Miss England national stage, aiming to inspire others with her message of empowerment and sustainability.
The national final of Miss England takes place over two days on the 20th & 21st November . To vote for Evanjelin in the competition download the Miss England app for FREE to place a FREE vote from 25th October 2025.

Join Miss England Milla Magee & 40% of the UK Population !
Photos BAMBOO PHOTO LAB – Red background – Loaded Magazine – Beach image
With the proportion of single adults increasing all the time Milla Magee the reigning Miss England believes Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be exclusively romantic love.
Milla,is a single sponsored surfer and lifeguard reflects on her first kiss , her ideal date and the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for her (in her own words)
Milla’s ideal date is a having a flask on tea on the beach watching the sunset !
“Valentines Day is a great opportunity to celebrate love for friends, family, pets and even oneself” said Milla.
“Despite living In a world full of dating apps and dating shows, I honestly think I’ll meet my person in the surf or sat having a cup of tea somewhere.
I was just 9 when a boy at school came up to me and gave me my first kiss on the cheek! It was so sweet !
I don’t believe in Love at First sight .. I’m a believer in getting to know someone first .
I think you can be attracted to someone at first sight but not love. Love is a powerful strong thing that is taken for granted now, and we need to treasure it.
I am currently single. I always say the right person will fit at the right time, I don’t like to go out and seek that, I know when it will be it will be.
The one and only romantic gesture I have ever received, was for my birthday and I happened to mention to a lovely guy I was friends with that I wanted a particular album for my record collection, I LOVE records.
He happened to find the record and drive all the way out of town to a record store miles away, and surprised me with this record on my birthday. I will forever be grateful and cherish the record in my collection.

An ideal dream date for me would be making a flask of tea and watching the sunset and the surf or doing something like that.
I’m very focused on my current Beauty with a Purpose GOFARWITHCPR project right now and happy with my pets!
( Milla lives with 4 dogs and a kitten!)
I have 4 dogs. Two are mine and 2 are my sisters and they live at home in Newquay with us . I also have a kitten. I love animals so much.
There is so much I want to experience before I settle down, I don’t see myself settling until I am in a position were I can be the best partner for someone else. If the right person was to come along I’d welcome that into my life but right now I’m enjoying embracing everything life has to offer and meeting people from all walks of life and seeing the world.
I think I vision my future loves are just me surrounded with animals. Dogs, cats, horses, llamas, rabbits, goats haha the list could go on.”
Milla will be representing England at the 72nd Miss World ..

Paige Loren Cannon James from Liverpool England, recent winner of Supertalent SS21 PARIS
(Also the FAB UP TOP MODEL winner and Miss England 2022 finalist) Photos MilanRakicPhotography Event Produced by @misssupertalent )
“I was invited to take part in the SS21 off Supertalent in September 2024 by Angie Beasley from the Miss England contest after winning the last Fab UK Top Model title at the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate in London.
I was so excited to have the opportunity to model in the Paris fashion week shows, it makes such a change from my normal day job as a nail technician!
I decided to go for it, its always been a dream to model at all the fashion weeks around the world!
My mum and family came with me to support me along the way.
I got ready for the trip making sure I took all I needed and off we went to Paris. The flight from Manchester is only around 1hour. I felt very lucky to live so close to Paris as there was so many countries involved from all over the world, some having to travel over 10 hours.
My beautiful room mate Grace Richardson
Supertalent organised the hotel and I shared a room with Grace Richardson a lovely contestant from England who’s a musical theatre student /model and the reigning Miss Leicestershire.
On arrival we had a tour around the amazing highlights of Paris like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre museum.
We then headed down to the designer shops and visited fabulous restaurants etc.
We had the best time.
The iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris
On the Sunday we headed to meet the designers which was very exciting. I was selected with another 2 other contestants to model for a designer BYSEOWOO. I got some amazing pictures by all the landmarks we visited In 3 different outfits. We visited museums and had some lovely food. Before we headed back to unwind ready for the next day. I was then then asked to model for different designers including Byseowoo Nako, Pietu Couture dresses, A New Golf Izabela Couture Mjadem Handbags and more.
There were around 50 ladies who all took part in the event where I made some life long friends.
The event was fantastic and I loved being apart off this experience, and to finish it off I couldn’t believe I got down to the final 3 in the Supertalent contest! Stood next to the top 3 never did I think for one minute that my name would be called for the winner.
TOP 3 L-R 1st Runner up Shiho from Japan Paige 2nd Runner up Alisa from Latvia
I felt so lucky and overwhelmed to have won wow.
Thank you to everyone involved with the Paris Supertalent, my mum and family & Angie Beasley & FAB UK Magazine .

Talented & Charitable Teenager who competed in the 2024 finals of Miss England is scouted to enter MISS TEEN INTERNATIONAL

Talented performer and Miss England 2024 finalist Mia Risco (19) from South Yorkshire has been scouted to represent England in Miss Teen International taking place in India

Mia in her WeDo ethical fashion outfit
During the Miss England final, I took part in the 1920s We do ethical fashion round. I thoroughly enjoyed this round as I admired the encouragement of sustainability and ethical fashion. I’m a big supporter of this and I love stealing my mum’s old clothes and finding amazing deals on Vinted, a great place for second hand fashion! My first item that was part of my outfit, was my long black gloves. I had already had these lying around as a part of my Halloween collection. Halloween is my favourite holiday so having a lot of costume pieces and accessories lying around is very normal to me. My second item that was also from my Halloween collection was an old lace choker. Last year, my friend for her 18th birthday had a party which was 1920s themed. I had already got a feather headband inspired by the flapper girl style, so I decided to wear this as I believe it was very fitting for the theme and outfit. I then got some small black heels from Vinted for £4.50. As a muslim, I have quite a few head covers lying around. I, of course, have my jersey scarf hijab which I used as a day to day scarf, that I wore around my neck. I also wore my turban style head scarf, like the turbans they used to wear in the 1920s. I believe they had influence from other countries, especially South Asia, where turbans are typically worn. So, having this being a part of my outfit, gave it even more of that personal touch for me. For my earrings, I had taken them from my mums wardrobe. And finally my dress, was too from my mums wardrobe. my mum had quite a few selection of dresses for me. She even had a flapper girl style dress. However, the dress I decided to wore just felt so different to me, and I felt so confident in it, which is always important to me when it comes to fashion.
“With the fundraiser round in Miss England , I had organised quite a few events. I thoroughly enjoy organising charity events and raising money for amazing causes. It’s something I’ve been brought up to do, as my dad is heavily involved in charity and has been a big inspiration in that way for me. I’ve done various things for charity, such as a skydive for Macmillan, a sit down meal for Syria and Turkey, where I raised almost over 18,000 (this is one of my best achievements, and hope to do another event like this again soon), and my dance shows. For the charity balls to cancer I have set up my own just giving page and has asked people to donate. This was not my first time fundraising for cancer. As I have mentioned. I also did a skydive for Macmillan where I had another just giving page set up as well.
Photo @Greyfalena_
In future , I hope to grow my Bollywood classes more and to help women in my community feel more confident about themselves through dance. As well as this, I’d like to advance my own dance, as well as my acting. The arts are very important to me and I hope to have established myself more within the industry in these next upcoming years. I hope to one day be apart of projects and films that help educate people, make them think and touch their emotions.

Miss England finalist Chloe McEwen shares her mental health journey – highlighting Mental Health week
1 year ago
Mental health week is 13th – 19th May – the week of the Miss England finals & here Chloe Mcewen shares her own mental health journey
“Hello everyone, my name is Chloe Mcewen, I’m 22 years old, from Harrogate North Yorkshire. I am the current Miss Yorkshire representing Yorkshire in the 2024 Miss England finals.
I am a level 3 qualified personal trainer, but most importantly I am passionate about inspiring and helping lift people’s mental health, not only through fitness of course but through many other tools that have helped me find peace and happiness along the way.
My awareness and journey with mental health all started at the age of 16.
I was a young, naive teenager and one Friday evening was having a few drinks with some friends. Being a teen, I had drank alcohol before and been fine, but on this occasion I was not. It was suspected I was spiked, but nothing was ever proved.
I ended up not sleeping for 3 days. Day 1 and 2 went by and the lack of sleep started to have severe effects on my mental state. By day 3 of no sleep, I was hallucinating horrific things, having scary delusional and paranoid thoughts and thought people were out to get me. It felt like I was living in a real life horror film. Due to experiencing these delusions, I tried escaping out of my bedroom window and became a danger to myself. At this point the emergency services were called and after being assessed by around 12 different medical professionals, they came to the decision to place me on a section 2, meaning I had to be detained in a secure psychiatric hospital for up to 28 days to be monitored and kept safe.
Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse. Whilst being detained in hospital the doctors tried me on many medications to try to balance my brain chemistry, but nothing agreed with me. Once the 28 day section approached, I was to have another full medical team assessment. Since showing no signs of recovery, I was placed on a section 3 which meant I was now detained for up to 6 months and due to the severity of my mental health and still enduring psychotic episodes, I had to be sent to a higher secure psychiatric hospital in Manchester, which was much more restrictive. Some would compare it to being as bad as living in a prison.
It was an old, mediaeval building, with bars on the windows and was very secure so no one could ever escape. At this stage I had still totally lost touch with reality, not knowing who anyone was, what I was doing and had lost all sense of safety. I was unrecognisable to anyone that knew me.
After a few months of being in this hospital and after trialling many different medications, luckily I started to slowly remember who my family were and who I was. The delusional thoughts and hallucinations were slowly fading away due to the medication finally working. This was great news! It meant I was able to have some freedom back and eventually some home leave but this wasn’t a quick process. They had to assess me over a period of months to make sure I was well enough to be released back home.
As I became more compos mentis, I became more aware of my surroundings and it became challenging having to stay in this hospital around all of these severely mentally unwell youths.
I was missing my home comforts. I had forgotten what that felt like, to feel safe and comfortable in your own bed.
During the months of recovering in hospital, I turned to food for comfort, leading me to gain nearly 4 stone in weight. Food was the main luxury we had in there, luxuries such as phones weren’t allowed, they were seen as a risk and hazard because of the glass in the screen.
After finally being well enough, for a long enough period, I was given the ok to start having home leave.
The recovery was just to begin….. I started suffering badly with anxiety, due to the isolation, side effects from all of the different medications (massively affecting my energy levels) as well as the extra weight I had put on, all knocking my confidence massively.
It was only when I came back out into ‘the real world’ that I realised I was not the same outgoing, healthy young girl anymore. Unable to do the ‘simple things’ that most of us wouldn’t think twice about, like having a conversation, cooking a meal, going for a walk on my own were no longer so effortless.
One of the biggest lessons I learnt from all of this was there is always somebody worse off, so I started practising gratitude everyday. The thought of feeling grateful seemed impossible to start with, but I realised there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for and I had my freedom and home back, which was a great start!
Practising gratitude and focusing on what I did have instead of what i didnt, massively helped shift my mind-set from negative to positive.I will never take my health and freedom for granted again.
Luckily I had amazing support from my mum, who slowly encouraged me back into wellbeing and exercise. She chose to focus on giving me as much support as she possibly could and to focus on what was in our control to help lift me up and help make me better.
I was struggling to get out of bed, let alone get through an intense workout like I did before and do now. I would go back to the gym several times and be so overwhelmed with anxiety and lack of energy, that I would just walk straight back out again. So I took a different approach. Rather than expecting unrealistic goals for me at that time, I started practising small daily disciplines and commitments to myself that were achievable and not overwhelming.
Getting out of the house every day, even if it was just for 5 minutes was the first goal. The more I stuck to this, the more my mood started to lift and I slowly built up confidence and pushed for more. I started going for longer walks, then gentle workouts, guided meditations to calm my mind and added healthy food swaps to help boost my energy levels and gradually progressed from there.
I slowly started to get my confidence back, lost some of the weight I had gained and managed to wean off the majority of my medication under a medical professional.
If I pushed through, especially on the harder days, I was proud of myself by the end.
By trying my best, continuing to practise gratitude day & night, I was starting to improve and feel human again.
Finally I went back to college when I was 17 and opted for personal training. After the battle I had, I learnt so much about myself and how fitness had a huge role in my recovery, as well as building my confidence at the same time. It really helped change my life for the better.
Through my hardest and loneliest time, I managed to find myself and learn so much and even found a job that I love that can help others, once I had passed my qualification as a P.T!
What once felt like a curse, became my biggest blessing. I found my purpose at such a young age. I knew that If I can heal myself and overcome all of this, I can share my story and tools with others to give them hope and inspiration to do the same. Helping others helps me find more peace and happiness.
My advice to anyone that is going through a tough time, is that life works in equal balance of bad and good. Without rain, you can’t appreciate the sun. Through challenges comes growth, strength and lessons.
Start being grateful for what you already have rather than what you don’t. There is always something to be grateful for. Remembering this really allows me to see life in a different light. I am grateful for every day I wake up now.
Unfortunately I relapsed since this time, due to me thinking I was well enough to totally come off the last of my medication without a medical professional. Luckily this was a shorter relapse and by learning so much the first time, I managed to recover faster and learn to never come off my medication unless advised to by my doctor.
Since winning Miss Yorkshire it has enabled me to reach many more people and has given me the platform to do public talks on this matter and inspire and help some of those currently struggling with their mental health throughout my community.
Never in a million years would 17 year old me think I would recover the way I have, become a level 3 personal trainer, be helping people, speaking on stage and win Miss Yorkshire!!! It really has been more than a dream come true!
Since being crowned in October 2023, I started volunteering for the charity ‘MIND in Harrogate‘, by helping out in their weekly arts & crafts group, doing 1 to 1 fitness & mindfulness sessions as well as talks sharing my story and mind-set tools such as, exercise, meditation, nutrition, practising gratitude and mindfulness activities which can help improve your mental health.
Recently I also climbed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with Lisa Ellis, another Miss England Finalist and managed to raise just over 1700 pounds for Mind in Harrogate. This was the ultimate mental & physical challenge, but we did it!
My goal now is to be able to reach many more with my story and tools and be an inspiration to anyone struggling with their mental health. If I can overcome being sectioned, bipolar disorder and now using this as my strength to help others, so can others. If only I had an influencer to look up too, who had been through something similar, a lot of my doubts about never being normal again could have been diminished sooner.
I would also love to be able to raise funding for those in psychiatric hospitals so they can have access to better nutrition, mindfulness activities and complementary therapies in the wards and on release, as well as having the knowledge on how to help heal themself as they return home.
Winning Miss England will allow me to reach the wider population. With crisis teams inundated and under- resourced especially after the pandemic, it is clearly a matter that needs more attention. The Miss England platform will fast track me to raise much needed awareness and to inspire and educate many more of those in need.
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.”
Chloe will be representing Yorkshire at the Miss England national finals at the Grand Station Wolverhampton on 16th & 17th May 2024 sponsored by Watermans Hair . For tickets visit
