A 17-year-old girl from Surrey has defied the modelling status quo by becoming the first size 16 model to be selected as a finalist for the Miss England competition, and has spoken of how proud she is of her curvy body.

Chloe Marshall, from Guildford, beat seven other, slimmer girls to the title of Miss Surrey and will now compete in the national finals.

Chloe, a beauty therapy student, said she decided to become a model to give a confidence boost to other "curvy" girls.

"It's really exciting, I'm really, really happy. I'm lost for words, I started to cry and everything. I'm over the moon," she said.

"I wanted to go through to the Miss England finals to break through the stereotype that you have to be tall and skinny.

"I wanted to make a bit of a statement. When I studied the other entrants for the Miss Surrey competition I concluded that pretty as the contestants were, they were equally all uniformly blonde and Barbie-doll-like.

"I want to show girls out there that it is possible to be beautiful and not a standard sized zero.
