An Oxfordshire mother-of-three has made the finals of Miss Great Britain.

Kelly Wilson lives in Burford with her husband and three children but will brace the stage of the longest-running beauty pageant next week.

The 30-year-old mum was declared Miss Cotswolds for 2024 having battled with severe postnatal depression last year.

“I lost myself in motherhood but I have since regained my confidence and so I entered Miss Great Britain.

“I have already gained so much by being part of Miss Great Britain and have even started my own campaign to help women’s mental health.

“I want to inspire other mothers and those who have also battled with their mental health to get their sparkle back.

Kelly also feels a real sense of pride to represent her county at the regional and now national finals despite only recently moving to the area.

“I am so proud to represent Oxfordshire as Miss Cotswolds 2024 after moving here with my family in 2022 this part of the country has become our home,” she revealed.

“I love the friendliness of the people, the variety of amenities such as all the clubs for my children near where we live and being close to one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
