A PILL teenager is competing for the title of Miss Teen Great Britain 2024.

Jessica Stanley, 19, is running for the title for the third year in a row.

Coming in the top 8 out of 63 girls in the 2023 finals, Jessica has high hopes that she will win the crown during the finals in October.

Jessica, who will be running for Miss Teen Bristol, said: "Getting the chance to represent Bristol at the national finals of Miss Teen Great Britain is a true honour and a privilege.

"The system has given me the opportunity to raise over £900 for various charities, I've done beach cleans and charity donations as well as most importantly raising awareness about strokes through my platform after losing my dad to one in 2022." 

The Miss Teen Great Britain website reads: "Little Miss Teen Great Britain, Miss Junior Teen Great Britain and Miss Teen Great Britain are NOT beauty contests.

"Forget the pageant stereotype, this competition is a platform to celebrate teenagers, their achievements and their goals. This UK pageant is about empowering teens, having fun, making friends and incredible memories!"
