Laura takes the tiara

Business administrator Laura Azevedo, 19, from Hartlepool, won the Miss Durham competition, held at Sedgefield Racecourse last night.

She will go on to represent the area in the Miss England competition in July.

Second place went to 20-year-old Samantha Osbourne, from Middlesbrough, and third was Jessica Saint, 19, from Aycliffe Village, County Durham.

Isn't it time these cattle shows were stopped? It's hard enough trying to convince girls that not being the most attractive isn't the be all and end all of life without these events reinforcing stereotypes.

Well no need to worry C Smith I have seen the photo of this girl and all I can say is I have seen a pile of make up and a fake tan not an attractive girl.
