Miss newcastle wins miss great britain

Last night saw the final of Miss Great Britain take place in London -- with Miss Newcastle clinching the title.

The event, at Cafe de Paris in Piccadilly Circus, was sponsored by Vibe at Hair Tools, and saw 12 finalists battle it out in bikinis and ballgowns for the title.

As they walked the catwalk, with hair by Gary Baker from the Adee Phelan Salon, they answered questions from the judging panel comprising of actor Gary Lucy, actresses Adele Silva from Emmerdale and Coronation Street's Nikki Sanderson, singer Simon Webbe, celebrity agent Dave Read and footballer Paul Gasgoine.

As the judges deliberated their winner, X-factor contestant Austin Drage entertained the audience of celebrities, which included David Van Day, Chris Quentin and a plethora of footballers and page three beauties.
