Former Britain's Next Top Model contestant Charlotte Holmes is crowned Miss England 2012
Nervously fidgeting with hemlines and re-adjusting beehives, the sixty beauty-queen finalists of the Miss England 2012 competition waited impatiently.
Then finally former Britain's Next Top Model contestant Charlotte Holmes from Devon was announced as the winner.
The 23-year-old Miss Devon shed tears of joy as she accepted her crown and held up her trophy on stage at the Athena in Leicester.
Dressed in a sparkly blue gown with a thigh-high split she managed to dry her eyes before being joined on stage by runner-up Anastasia Smith, Miss North Yorkshire, and third place Tamzin Cummings, Sunderland People's Choice.
In the run-up to the final Miss Holmes said on her entry page on the Miss England website that the competition was 'a fantastic way to celebrate inspirational, ambitious, young women' and that she will put every energy into making England proud of their contestant in Miss World.
Miss Holmes, who was a contestant on the sixth cycle of the popular reality show, may be advised to celebrate in moderation as her Miss England duties will start immediately when she is whisked away to Mauritius in the morning to promote a campaign for Fiesta.
She had already been named a favourite in the finals alongside Katie Price's protegee 19-year-old Amy Willerton, who won television show Signed By Katie Price.
Before the final in Leicester the pageant beauties fought a tough battle in the preliminary rounds in Birmingham including top sports woman, great lengths hair show, and top model.
