Romy from Bournemouth has seen off hundreds of young women from across the UK to make it to the grand final.

“I am so honoured to have made it through to the final, it is a great achievement to represent my area in such an established pageant,” said Romy. “I am very excited to share my The Red Flag campaign in raising awareness about narcissistic behaviour and spotting the signs of coercive control.”

Contestants from across the UK will compete in the spectacular final on Saturday 19 September at the DoubleTree by Hilton Liverpool. The winners from England, Wales and Scotland will walk away with some incredible prizes and a trip of a lifetime.

“It’s a dream to be a part of a system that allows women to create opportunities for themselves and has helped me to make my Atlantica Swimwear a huge success since setting up in November 2017,” said Romy. She featured on the cover of 4Dorset in May 2018 when she was in the running to represent Great Britain at the Miss Universe pageant.
