She said: '˜I have always wanted to host a ball to fundraise for charity, and I am extremely lucky that being part of the pageant community has allowed me to choose my own platform and charities to fundraise for.

'˜We are on the search for any companies that would like to donate raffle prizes and are welcoming everyone that would like to come, including children.'

Tickets will cost £25 for adults and £15 for children up to 12 '“ to book people can call 07714 955954
