She is the tallest ever contestant
A 6ft 2ins beauty queen who was branded "Godzilla" by cruel classmates at school has beaten the bullies to become the tallest ever contestant in Miss England history. Kathryn Turner, 24, was left with low confidence and self-esteem after relentlessly being teased about her height during her teenage years.
She found the confidence to start modelling before applying for the Miss England pageant and was left delighted to make it through to the final heat stages. Kathryn, who works as a resident advisor for a student housing company, is now vying to become the tallest ever winner in the competition's 93 year history.
"I also suffered physical abuse whilst out clubbing with my friends on a few occasions and my confidence was knocked. On one night out in July 2017 a random boy came up to me and started giving my verbal abuse and he started on me and I ended up with a broken nose in hospital. “Friends and family said I should have modelled in the past because of my height but I never believed I was good enough due to the bullying and lack of self-belief. But now I want to inspire others to embrace their differences and reach for their dreams and goals."
