Miss World contestants aiming high
A SOLDIER bidding to become Miss World said today she hoped her attempt to win the crown would help charities working with British servicemen and women.
Lance-Corporal Katrina Hodge, who was drafted in to compete after Rachel Christie relinquished her title, joined 119 other beauty queens at the contest's launch in London yesterday.
Meanwhile, Miss Scotland, Katharine Brown, revealed she was being supported by the tennis champion Andy Murray. Ms Brown, 22, who went to school in Dunblane with Murray, said she was in regular contact with him on Facebook during the run-up to the contest.
She said: "Scotland has never won Miss World before, so we have to do it this time."
