THE Grimsby-born director of the Miss England has confirmed that there will be a make-up free round in the final stages of this year's event.

Says Angie Beasley: "Contestants who reach the semi-finals and  final can choose to enter the optional make-up free round which entails posting a natural make-up free image of themselves on their own social media accounts.

"This is a unique and empowering element of the competition - by showcasing their natural beauty without the aid of makeup, the contestants can celebrate their individuality and self-confidence. 

"This round also promotes natural and realistic beauty on social media which I believe is good thing."
