Chloe Marshall needs you!

Chloe Marshall needs you!

She's a plus size girl and wants to win Miss Surrey (and then go on to Miss England) just to show girls her age that they are beautiful no matter what size.

You may have seen Chloe in the Daily Mirror on Monday - they say:

"Chloe Marshall has her sights on a record as the first size 16 Miss England entrant.

Weighing 12 stone 8lbs she is set to fly through her local selection rounds and appear in the national finals on July 18.

Chloe, 17, is 5ft 10in with a 34DD bust.

And show organisers say she has what it takes to shatter the stereotype that beauty means being stick-thin.

Miss England director Angie Beasley said: "The sky's the limit for a beautiful, curvy girl like Chloe.

"She has already made history as the first plus-size entrant and I hope many more will follow and promote bigger bodies."

Chloe said: "Girls are under such crazy pressure to be thin these days. I'm not a stick insect but I've got a strict exercise regime and I enjoy looking pretty.

"When I pick up a size 16 in Topshop I'm made to feel I'm at the fat end of the scale. But 16 is the average dress size for British women." Trainee beautician Chloe runs for 40 minutes every day and rides horses on the farm where she lives near Guildford, Surrey.

Next month fashion gurus Trinny and Susannah will give her tips in a shoot for their ITV show Great British Body.

Chloe took up a strict fitness regime to drop from a size 18 after she was bullied at school. She said: "Kids taunted me with really upsetting things."

She has not given up eating food she enjoys but has cut down on snacks packed with fat and sugar.

Chloe, a Miss Surrey hopeful, said: "I love roast dinners and banoffee pie so I have them in moderation. I no longer eat pies and pizza all the time. Now I'm toned up and happy."

Chloe, who is signed to Models Plus who handle girls size 16-22, added: "You don't need to flaunt loads of yourself to be sexy.

"I think it is more about looking relaxed and glowing."
