Miss Teen World
A schoolgirl from Liverpool has beaten young beauties from 25 other countries to take the Miss Teen World title in Houston, Texas.
Amy Jackson, 16, from Knowsley Village, told the Liverpool Echo: 'I was completely shocked to win and so happy.
'I really thought I had not made the final five. But then I went on to take the title. I made lots of friends during the competition and may now be going to live in Texas for a year to promote the contest.'
'Shocked': winner Amy didn't think she'd made the final five
Personality and communication counted for a quarter of contestants' scores, with the other three-quarters going to their appearance in evening gown, swimsuit, and 'poise and beauty'.
In contrast to recent 'size zero' model healthcare scandals, Miss Teen World judges stressed health over size: 'Physical fitness should be an important part of everyone's life,' the judges said. 'We are looking for a winner that is in great shape with a healthy respect for her body.'
Amy reached the final after winning the Miss Teen Liverpool and Miss Teen Great Britain contests.
Amy's father, BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Alan Jackson, said: 'The contestants were asked to talk about their home town and obviously Amy was not short of things to say. She mentioned Liverpool FC, Capital of Culture, the Mersey – there is no shortage of things to say about Liverpool.
'We are very proud of Amy and the fact she has done so well in school too.'
Brains and beauty: Amy hopes to study law at university
Hardworking Amy hopes to go on to university and study law - after achieving nine GCSEs passes this summer, five of which were As.
But she will continue modelling in the meantime - with a new UK contract, which she hopes will lead to success in the industry.
Other contestants in the Teen Miss World competition came from countries including Canada, France, Mexico, Korea, South Africa, Russia and the USA.
Amy's prizes include a modelling contract in the USA, a wardrobe of appearance clothes and a years supply of cosmetics and shoes.

Dark Circles Under Eyes
Dark circles under eyes immediately start disappearing turning them into shining bright eyes as the eyebrows get raised naturally and lift the eyelids further up and lock them there.
The skin under the eye is thinner than the rest of the skin around. Hence the veins under it give it a blue tinge appearing as dark circles there.
Also the skin under the eye is affected more by the sun tanning.
Rubbing or scratching the eye darkens the skin under the eyes as well.
Medications causing the blood vessels to dilate also pronounce these dark patches.
Lack of nutrition discolors this area too.
Lack of sleep or excessive fatigue turns skin pale and shows these dark patches more.
Pregnancy and menstruation also accentuate the dark under eye circles.
Age sags the skin, drooping the eyelids and generating bags over there. The dark circles start showing even more than before.
But the way we have been going through our previous posts not only lifts-up the drooping eyelids, removes the excess eyelid skin along with the excess fat-tissue, removes dark circles under eyes, and turns back the eyelids that have gone turned-in or turned-out; but also gets a total facelift for you without going for an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream, or any surgical procedure.
Just open your eyes FULL in their TOTAL WIDTH by putting a slight smile on your lips, and you will have got the two bright eyes on your face!
And then this only is the right way you should always open your eyes in while you are awake.
If you are really interested in and really curious about whatever you are looking at, it automatically happens so.
We do need looking into this interest and curiosity thing further in its depth and we’ll certainly come out with many more pearls of biological wisdom from there.
