Chloe Marshall, a 17 year old beauty student from Surrey has set her sights to become the first ever size 16 entrant to this years Miss England.

The show’s organisers have high hopes for Chloe doing well; she has already made history as the first ever plus-size regional entrant, so fingers and toes crossed for her getting through to the final!

Chloe has spoken out about how she thinks girls are under pressure to be a certain size, “Girls are under such crazy pressure to be thin these days. I’m not a stick insect but I’ve got a strict exercise regime and I enjoy looking pretty.”

And pretty she certainly is! Angie Beasely one of the Miss England directors said “The sky’s the limit for a beautiful, curvy girl like Chloe”. Prestegious model agents Model Plus, who deal with girls between the sizes of 16-22 proudly have Chloe on their books. So at 12st 8 and a size 16, Chloe is the perfect advocate for plus-size women across the UK.

Chloe runs for 40 minutes every day and rides horses on the farm where she lives near Guildford, Surrey. Though don’t let that lead you to think she’s a complete health fanatic. Chloe says “I love roast dinners and banoffee pie so I have them in moderation. I no longer eat pies and pizza all the time. Now I’m toned up and happy.”

Chloe has strong opinions on what she believes the future Miss England should be “You don’t need to flaunt loads of yourself to be sexy. I think it is more about looking relaxed and glowing.”
