Tenby resident, Helen Kitajewski, has won a place in the Miss British Beauty Curve 2016 grand final.

Helen (née Davies) recently won the title of Miss Pembrokeshire Curve 2016 and therefore will be competing in the grand final on July 30 with girls from all over the country.

The pageant is in its fifth year and celebrates the beauty of plus-size ladies. It aims to encourage women with curvier figures to follow their dreams and show to the world that diversity itself is beautiful.

Helen herself got involved with the plus-size modelling world following a customer competition run by plus-size fashion brand, Scarlett & Jo. The brand have also given Helen a dress worth £200 from their Couture collection for her to wear in the final round of the pageant.

Helen is also being sponsored by Bridal 88, a plus-size bridal outfitters where she found her dress for her wedding in April of this year.
