VOTING has now finished in the search for the new Miss Worcester.

For the last week we have been asking readers to vote for their favourite among 25 beauties all vying for the sought-after crown.

From the votes we have received, the top-10 girls will go through to the final and will compete at a gala event in front of a panel of special judges.

These will include the current Miss Worcester, Jodi Edwards, Miss England, a Worcestershire County cricketer, and horse racing commentator and presenter Mike Cattermole, among others, and will take place at Worcester Racecourse.

  • For every vote registered, the Noah's Ark Trust charity - supported by your Worcester News - received money towards its appeal for new premises in the city.
