MODELLING scouts from the Miss England competition will be in Blackburn today looking for contestants for a “Miss Blackburn” to feature in a new TV documentary series.

The spotters will be in the town centre between 9am and 6pm and will be stopping glamorous girls at random to ask them to take part in the Miss Blackburn heat.

The heat is a direct round into the Miss England finals and is being held in May.

Organiser Mark Jones said: “We have had a great response for the Miss Blackburn competition already and are confident that the next Miss England could be hiding in the crowds.

"We’re on a mission to take a look for ourselves and make sure none of the regions most beautiful ladies have slipped through the net.”

Those selected will be given the chance to feature in a TV documentary series about the Miss England competition.

Contestants for Miss Blackburn have until Friday, March 12, to enter via www.miss-blackburn.co.uk. They must be aged between 17 and 24.
