Sharna Tate, 12, goes to Kesteven and Sleaford High School and has her heart set on getting into modelling and showbusiness.

Proud mum Deborah explained Sharna entered in the junior category of the competition for aspiring models after spotting an advert and has now been crowned Miss Sleaford, as one of the national finalists to go forward.

She said: “The national contest was due to happen in May but they have had to delay it until September 26 because of coronavirus.”

The final ceremony will be held at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Chester and will feature various titles for different age categories, including Miss British Isles, Miss Teen British Isles, Little Miss British Isles and even one for men.

There will be a catwalk procession in T-shirts and jeans then the girls switch to their party dresses.

Deborah said Sharna’s category is for ages eight-12 years: “Sharna has already won a portfolio shoot with some amazing professional photos.

“She has always been a very confident little girl.”

An aspiring singer, Sharna has signed up to two talent agencies and wants to apply for ‘The Voice Kids’ next year.
