Amy Willerton (born 18 August 1992) is a British Model who won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain 2013 and represented Great Britain at the Miss Universe 2013 pageant.
Early Life
Willerton was born in Westbury Park, Bristol, England. She attended Cotham School and Redland Green School in Bristol.
Pageants
As a seventeen-year-old, Willerton won Miss Bristol in 2010. She went on to win Miss Bath in 2011 and Miss London in 2012. At the Miss England contest in 2012, she reached the top five.
Willerton was crowned Miss Universe Great Britain on 8 June 2013 in Birmingham.
On 9 November 2013, Willerton participated at the Miss Universe contest in Moscow, where she became the first woman competing as Miss Great Britain to place in the semifinals, eventually finishing in the Top 10. Previous British contestants have placed as first runner-up at Miss Universe, competing as Miss England, Miss Scotland and Miss Wales respectively. Willerton is the first UK contestant in thirty years, to reach the top ten at Miss Universe. The previous woman to achieve this being Karen Moore, who as Miss England, reached the top five at the 1983 contest.
Willerton's previous experience of an international pageant resulted in controversy. In 2011, she was set to represent Wales in the Miss Asia Pacific World contest. However, she withdrew from the event with claims of vote rigging and harassment. Claims that the organisers strongly denied.
