A 22-year-old woman from Warrington scooped the title of Miss Great Britain.

Miss Warrington, Danielle Lloyd, saw off competition from 50 finalists - including a mother and daughter and a former Big Brother contestant - to win the crown.

Big Brother star Orlaith McAllister, 26, represented Belfast in the contest, but it was bookies' favourite Danielle who went home with a 12-month schedule of modelling engagements and a part in a Hollywood movie.

Miss St Helens, Andrea Clay, 27, and Miss Basildon, Louise White, 23, were the two runners up.

Orlaith missed out on the crown

Danielle, wearing a floor-length blue satin dress, impressed a panel of celebrity judges which included chef Jean-Christophe Novelli, ex-Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati and footballer Teddy Sheringham.

She was presented with the Miss Great Britain crown, sash and flowers after the panel considered her to be the most beautiful woman in Britain.

The contest, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in central London, was hosted by Deal or no Deal star Noel Edmonds and GMTV's Jenni Falconer.

Danielle does not go through to the Miss World competition, which is a separate event.
