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 ..
