\n The 20-year-old became\u00a0the\u00a079th winner to hold the Miss Great Britain crown after triumphing at the national competition last year.\n<\/p>\n
\n Across the two days, Ava showcased her\u00a0charity, talent and publicity efforts and took part in private interviews with an esteemed judging panel, before taking to the iconic Miss GB stage.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ava,\u00a0an international business student at Edinburgh University, eventually reigned supreme over 40 other accomplished Miss Great Britain finalists.\n<\/p>\n
\n Her triumph comes after she raised \u00a321,000 for charity\u00a0in the lead-up to the national final.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ava has now taken home the\u00a0Bold & Beautiful Award at the Pageant Industry Awards.\n<\/p>\n

\n “It also represents my journey of sharing the reality of living with eczema and showing others that you can still feel confident and beautiful even during a flare-up.\n<\/p>\n
\n “To have also entered Miss Great Britain at 19 and won on my very first time is something I\u2019ll never forget.\n<\/p>\n
\n “A huge thank you to everyone who has supported beboobaware and my eczema journey. This really couldn\u2019t have been possible without all your help.\n<\/p>\n

\n Ava also gave a special mention to the Ayrshire Hospice charity shop in Prestwick, where she got her dress for the awards night.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “The women helped me find the perfect dress\u00a0and I think this may be my favourite dress I\u2019ve ever worn.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Take this as your sign to shop at your local charity shops as they have the best finds.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 20-year-old became\u00a0the\u00a079th winner to hold the Miss Great Britain crown after triumphing at the national competition last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-410574","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115174673317757961","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
