Interesting Fact
Something fun you should know about me is that I’m a bit of a "self-taught explorer"! For example, I once decided to go on a one-week safari by myself at age 18 in Cape Town while in my heart being terrified of wild animals. I ended up gaining the knowledge I did not know was relevant but that made me realize how much I love embracing the unexpected and finding beauty in the most unplanned experiences. Lastly, I have this little tradition of traveling with no real agenda—sometimes I just book a flight to a place and let the journey unfold, following my instincts and letting the day lead me wherever it takes. It’s kind of like living in the moment, and I find it’s a great way to disconnect, explore, and be open to new possibilities. For me, adventure is about embracing the unknown, whether it’s through a spontaneous trip, a new hobby, or even just stepping into a situation with an open mind and no expectations. Life’s too short not to let curiosity lead the way! Some other facts about my background have primarily been involved in the modeling industry rather than beauty pageants. For a long time, I did not envision myself stepping into the pageant world. However, through the growth of skills, experiences, and a deeper understanding of my personal values, I realized that the qualities I have developed — confidence, resilience, professionalism, and a strong sense of purpose — align perfectly with what it takes to succeed in beauty pageants. This realization motivated me to pursue this new and exciting path. My modeling career began when I was just 15 years old. Visiting New York had always been a dream of mine, and my father made a special agreement with me: if I achieved certain academic goals, he would take me there. I succeeded, and we traveled to the "Big Apple" together. During that trip, almost by chance, I attended an open call at VNY Models, a well-known agency in New York. To my surprise and great joy, I was signed with them shortly thereafter, which officially marked the beginning of my professional modeling journey. In the more recent years, I have been represented by Metropolitan Models in Paris, one of Europe's leading agencies. Among my most significant achievements has been my collaboration with the esteemed French couture designer Peet Dullaert. I had the honor of both opening and closing his shows during Paris Fashion Week for two consecutive seasons.Following, I believe this is a funny one, as I wish to share one of my weaknesses with you. Being too stubborn sometimes, a strong personality which can be threatening to some people, multitasking. I can imagine what you might think, multitasker really? How can that be seen as a weakness? Well, the truth is that it can be seen as a weakness because it is crucial to focus on one big thing at a time but I have a weak point wanting to complete several accomplishments in one go which is not always the wisest decision. When I was younger, before going professional in tennis, I used to be involved with several sports at times. Gymnastics, horse riding and also ballet. Worth mentioning, my father taught me to learn to hold one ball in your hand instead of two, the results will be to lose both of them if not focusing on one. That statement was the turning point that made me focus on tennis, and tennis only. The outcome resulted in becoming exceptional at tennis because of the decision focusing on only one thing at a time. This philosophy is still with me today but it’s one of those weaknesses I am improving slowly. However, I am working on the improvements which are needed in order to make positive changes. Even if the steps are small, heading towards the right decision I am pleased.

Audition fees are £25, and a payment link will be sent to selected contestants.

Eight monthly virtual auditions will be run between January and September 2025 on Zoom on the last Friday of the month at 12 noon for invited contestants only.

From the monthly virtual auditions, a number of contestants will be shortlisted and invited to the Miss England semi-final to compete for an area or award title such as Miss Talent, Bare Face , AI Avatar women in Business award and more (approx 8 awards available, each giving the winner a place in the final).

All Semi Finalists will receive an official Miss England semi-finalist information pack by email, once they qualify which will include the various challenges to compete in leading up to the semi-final.

National Pride as Thailand Celebrates Miss World Victory with Royal welcome home, commemorative stamps & a visit to Government house to meet the Prime Minister of Thailand

3 days ago

In an emotional and unforgettable homecoming, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, the newly crowned Miss World 2025, returned to Thailand on Saturday morning, receiving a hero’s welcome that reflected the pride of an entire nation. Thailand’s first-ever Miss World was greeted by a sea of thousands at Suvarnabhumi Airport, where tears, cheers, and tradition merged in an impressive display of national unity and joy.

Opal arrived accompanied by Julia Morley CBE, Chairwoman of the Miss World Organization, who was warmly embraced by the Thai people with flowers, applause, and deep admiration. The crowd at the airport included young fans, supporters waving Thai flags.

Miss World’s humbly expressed her deepest gratitude for the royal kindness of Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya, who graciously sent royal representative Khun Siris Chuachart to the airport to present a bouquet of royal flowers to her as a gesture of congratulations on the occasion of her return to Thailand.

“This royal benevolence is an immeasurable and cherished honor, which I will forever hold in my heart with the deepest respect and gratitude”, Miss World said.

Many joyful fans  added their own sparkle to the celebration, some wearing replicas of the Miss World crown, others dressed as Miss World herself or as Julia Morley CBE. Their creativity and enthusiasm were a beautiful reminder of just how deeply this victory has touched the hearts of the Thai people.

The welcome marks a historic first: in 74 years of Miss World history, Thailand had never claimed the crown, that is until now.

 It is also a landmark moment for Brian Macar, the country’s Miss World license holder since 1980, who celebrated his first victory as national director after joining forces with TPN Group earlier this year.

As Opal emerged from the airport wearing her crown and Miss World sash, the atmosphere erupted in cheers. Cameras flashed, fans cried, and she walked with grace among them, visibly holding back tears as emotion swept over her. Her gratitude and humility were palpable.

The celebration continued with the ‘Homecoming 72nd Miss World’ event and a ‘Celebration Parade for Thailand’s First Miss World’, which made its way through Bangkok’s iconic Sukhumvit Road. Heading to the parade’s starting point, from the sunroof of her car, Opal waved the Thai flag with pride while fans carried her posters and lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the nation’s new queen.

A chariot-like float led the parade, adorned with elephant idols, the national animal of Thailand, the Miss World iconic crown, and a special throne for Opal at its center. Thousands followed (over 250,000 people spread across two kilometers) as her float wound its way through the capital’s most popular districts.

The tribute didn’t end there. In recognition of her triumph, The Mall Group, one of Thailand’s largest retail empires, led by chairwoman Supaluck Umpujh, gifted Opal a 1 million Baht shopping voucher (approx. USD 30,000).

The Thai Post also announced the release of commemorative stamps bearing her image, turning her victory into a permanent piece of national history.

It all unfolded at The Mall, where over 3,000 enthusiastic fans gathered for an unforgettable celebration, as sponsors were thanked for making all this possible. The crowd had the chance to ask Opal questions, take selfies with their queen, and share in the joy of her historic triumph.

 One of the most touching moments came when a group of children joined Miss World on stage and sang the organization’s anthem, “Light the Passion, Share the Dream”. The performance moved many to tears and perfectly captured the spirit of unity and inspiration that Opal’s victory has ignited.

Throughout the day, Opal remained visibly moved. More than once, she wiped away tears, thanking the Thai people for lifting her on this journey. “This crown belongs to all of us,” she said quietly to a crowd that needed no microphone to hear the emotion in her voice.

In her speech, Opal shared words of wisdom:

“No matter who you are or what title you hold, someone always looks up to you. The best way to lead is with grace and action. That is the most powerful thing we can give to the people around us and to our world.”

The day’s events served not only as a tribute to Opal’s international triumph in Hyderabad, India, where she won the 72nd Miss World Festival, but also as a celebration of Thailand’s values: grace, resilience, and unity.

“We are immensely proud of Opal. In such a short time, she has shown the world the strength of her character, a young woman with a kind heart, deeply rooted family values, and a powerful sense of purpose,” said Julia Morley CBE, Chairwoman and Founder of the Miss World Organization. “Her longstanding commitment to breast cancer awareness is inspiring, and it’s a cause we will champion together, bringing vital education and support to every corner of the world. Opal represents everything Miss World stands for: beauty with a purpose and the power to uplift others.”

It was a day to remember, for Opal, for Thailand, and for the global Miss World family. And as the sun set over Bangkok, the roar of applause lingered in the air, echoing a simple truth: history had been made, and a star had come home.

And it’s only the beginning of her journey as Miss World and a Beauty With a Purpose ambassador. Since the homecoming event, Suchata had the honour of meeting Mr Somsak Thepsuthin the minister of Public Health in Thailand to drive forward her Beauty with a Purpose Campaign called #OpalForHer to raise more awareness about Breast Cancer . “ With the Ministrys support , we are taking the mission from Thailand to the world “ said Suchaata in her Instagram post .

One of the greatest honours of Suchata’s life so far is meeting Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra as the first Thai Woman to wear the Miss World crown.

The Miss World Organization extends its deepest appreciation to Khun Supaluck Umpujh, Chairwoman of The Mall Group, along with UOB LIVE, Tero Entertainment, Mr. Brian L. Marcar, TPN GLOBAL, Mr. Wichai Thongtang and Pui Sankosik, Thai Airways International PCL, Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Bangkok, Teng Da Intergroup, and Millennium Auto for the magnificent and gracious welcome extended to Miss World 2025 upon her return home.

The Great Central Railway had a special visitor recently

2 months ago

The Great Central Railway exists today because a group of determined volunteers, back in 1969, following closure by British Railways, wanted the line to be saved to recreate the experience of main line steam for generations to come. Miss England 2025 semi finalist “Sapphire Carter”  a former Miss Leicestershire winner from Leicester, decided to visit the attraction on a special family weekend.

Heres a few words from Sapphire…

As a Miss England Semi Finalist, I had the joy of spending the day at the Great Central Railway in Leicester, a place that brought history to life in the most beautiful way. Stepping onto the vintage steam trains, with the nostalgic wood panelled carriages and the rhythmic chug of the locomotive, it was a very peaceful and grounding experience.
What touched me most was meeting the incredible volunteers behind it all. Their passion and tireless dedication have helped raise over £2 million to preserve and restore this historic treasure.
It’s not just about trains, it’s about community and protecting something special for future generations to enjoy.
As someone born and raised in Leicester, this experience filled me with pride.
To know that our city is home to such heartfelt commitment. I left with more than just lovely photos and memories, I felt truly inspired to see such hard work in action.
Thank you to everyone at the Great Central Railway for your warmth, your stories, and the incredible work you do.
You’re keeping our history alive and thriving!”
The Great Central Railway is a perfect location for a family celebration, to catch up with friends or to indulge in a romantic dinner. Whether it’s a leisurely Saturday or Sunday lunch or a grand night out, sit back, relax and let the train take the strain as our stewards ensure your time with us is one to remember.

Miss England Milla Magee launches search for the next CPR Queen ahead of Miss World

2 months ago

Less than a month away from jetting off to India to compete in the 72nd Miss World in Telangana India, The reigning Miss England Milla Magee is preparing to showcase her Beauty with a Purpose Project  called  Go Far With CPR on the global stage.

But before leaving for the month long festival , Milla has received a letter from HRH Prince William in support of her campaign and  called for the help of the future Miss England contestants to raise awareness for her life saving project by introducing a new round in the next competition.

Leading up to the Miss England semi-final event later this year, contestants are invited to compete in a series of qualifying rounds, including sports, talent, a make-up-free, an ethical fashion show, and now, the latest challenge: a CPR Queen challenge!

Whilst in Kosovo , Milla visited the Loyola Elementary School with her project, and appeared on two television shows in Kosovo after being invited by “MyDasma” co-owner Mimoza Cena – Sokoli who invited Milla to sample & try many beautiful gowns by undiscovered designers . MyDasma are creating her Dress & costume for the competition which will be revealed soon ready for her time in India in May 2025!

On the TV with Mimoza from MyDasma

Milla will be competing in a series of fashion show style events, the sports round and attending charity dinners along with showcasing her project.

Milla had already visited several schools in the southwest of England during her Miss England reign, raising awareness and teaching kids life-saving skills.

At the semi-final in October, Milla will choose a CPR Queen to advance to the next Miss England final.  The CPR Queen will be selected from the semi-finalists who put in the most effort to spread the important message and raise awareness on social media, and potentially teach basic CPR skills in local communities & school.

Milla hopes to get CPR training made mandatory in schools across England during her reign and has called for the new contestants to actively get involved in raising awareness.

Milla was invited to model various designer dresses from MyDasma undiscovered designers – Glamorous Navy Dress by fkalter

As a qualified lifeguard and sponsored surfer  and  volunteer with her local St. John Ambulance, Milla shared, “When my grandparents suffered heart attacks at home, no one knew what to do. Family members waited for help that came too late. If just one of them had known CPR, maybe their story—and mine—would be different. That’s why I’m fighting to make CPR training mandatory in schools. No one should have to stand by helplessly when a life could be saved. I hope the contestants and indeed anyone reading this will sign my petition to help gain support and recognition in Parliament”.
