A beauty queen is returning to the pageant scene to compete in a new category aged 53.
Laura White collected a succession of titles including Miss Penarth, Miss Pontypridd, Miss Llanelli, Miss Brains when she was younger.
But back in the 80s when Laura last competed, pageants only allowed entry if the women were unmarried and no older than 24.
The Miss Great Britain pageant has however launched a new category this year to increase their inclusivity: Ms Great Britain Classic 2021.
This category is open to women over the age of 40 and hopes to spread the message that women don’t stop becoming worthy of entering pageant competitions after a certain age or marital status.
“I think it’s great to celebrate women at all ages and shapes as well,” Laura told Wales Online.
