A BEAUTY queen is hopeful she will do Kent proud in her battle for Miss England success this weekend.

Miss Kent Emma Martin, of Green Lane, Chislehurst, will be in Birmingham alongside 59 other contestants from across the country to battle it out for the coveted crown.

And the 18-year-old musical theatre student believes she has what it takes to succeed.

Miss Martin said: “Since I was crowned Miss Kent there has been so much preparation for the event.

“Going in to the final I think I stand a really good chance against the other girls.”
