BIRMINGHAM beauty Kerry Price proved she’s more than just a pretty face as she took part in the Miss England 2010 Boot Camp challenge yesterday.
Reigning Miss Birmingham Kerry, aged 23, from King’s Heath, was joined by 59 other Miss England hopefuls at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.
They were put through their paces by current Miss England Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge and her soldier colleagues ahead of next month’s grand final in Birmingham.
And although Kerry didn’t take the top spot, earning a place in the top 20 for the final, she said she was ready to do Birmingham proud.
After the gruelling hour-and-a-half, which involved running, squats, sit-ups and kick-ups, she said she was feeling the burn.
“I’m tired and sweating and feel like they really pushed me to the limit but it was really good fun.”
As reigning Miss England, Lance Corporal Hodge decided the competition needed to step away from its old image and replaced the traditional swimsuit round with yesterday’s workout.
And Kerry said she preferred to be put through her paces.
“This shows how determined everyone is. We’re trying to promote activity and health and I workout and swim so I enjoyed it.”
Now all eyes are focused on the September 1 final where Kerry hopes to bring the Miss England crown to Brum.
“I’m so proud it’s in Birmingham, it’s so special and I hope I can make Birmingham proud of me. To have the opportunity to bring the crown home here is amazing. I love the city, there’s so much going on and it’s so multicultural.”
Pushing the Miss England hopefuls to their limit, Lance Corporal Hodge was also on hand to offer advice and welcomed the competition’s move to Brum.
“I think it’s great it’s in Birmingham and it would be great for Miss Birmingham to win it but that’s not up to me. I know Kerry from last year’s competition and she just has to be herself and enjoy it. Whatever happens she’s still Miss Birmingham and that’s amazing.”
