During her bid to be Miss England she took part in Calum Mayes WAC Wheelchair awareness Walk to Blackpool helping raise funds and awareness for various charities of Calums choice .

This was her first and only time she entered Miss England …

Natasha remembers the night well …

Natasha ; “My Mum, Dad, Nanna, Grandad, Auntie, Uncle, Sisters, Partner, Best friend and Twin brother were all there on the night I competed and won the title! I was studying English Literature at the University of Nottingham when I won Miss England. I was completely surprised and overwhelmed to win Miss England and shared so much excitement and happiness with my family !

It was such a special moment to be recognised and join a family of extraordinary ladies.”

Be True to yourself is Natasha’s Motto

During my reign “I travelled to China, Sri Lanka, Gibraltar & also India and Mauritius as a former Miss England since . I also appeared at numerous high profile venues across the country at Miss England events such as Cheltenham Ladies College to perform as a singer which was good experience .

“The year I entered , Miss World was held in Sanya China, I made it as top 5 finalist in the Miss World Talent round with my singing and I had the privilege of performing at various events for Miss World including the Beauty Crown theatre”

“I still keep in touch with two of my close friends that I made during Miss World, Miss Northern Ireland Leanne and Miss Ireland Sacha. I am also part of a big group chat where we still discuss things going on in our countries or are personal achievements.

My favourite Miss England appearance was performing at the Variety Humanitarian Awards for Julia Morley in Jersey alongside Former Miss World 2012 Wenxia Yu in Jersey .”
