'Going to India for Miss World is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The culture, the colour, the people – I just want to soak up every moment.
'Competing in Miss World is like a dream. I really lacked confidence when I was younger, so this is something I had never seen on the cards for myself.
'As someone who was once painfully shy, it might not seem like the obvious path, but Miss World isn't just about beauty, it's about confidence, strength, and using your voice for something bigger than yourself.
'I've learned that self-worth isn't about fitting into a perfect mould, it's about embracing who you are.
'I can't wait to represent Scotland on such a grand stage.'

Now she had been forced to put her personal drama and weight loss confessions to one side to graft for the reality series. She was seen donning a lemon shirt and shorts co-ord as she arrived at the airport ready to jet to Portugal to film her new scenes. TOWIE stalwart Amy pushed her youngest daughter Millie in a pram while Billy was in charge of the stroller occupied by his little son of the same name. They looked serious after the rough news of their postponed marriage was made public, with Amy covering her eyes with a huge pair of sunglasses. Yet she certainly looked the part for filming, sporting a glowing tan and fresh wavy blow dry. I DON-N'T Sources told Closer Magazine: "Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted. "There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day, but they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives." Amy, 34, shares two of her four children with Billy, 42, who she first met in 2000. She referred to him as her "Prince Charming" after they set eyes on each other during lockdown. Amy Childs sparks concern after sharing snaps of construction work on new pool at home as fans issue stark warning In 2023, the pair welcomed twins, Amelia and Billy, into the world after a "long and exhausting" labour - yet their marriage plans have taken a back seat. Despite going wedding dress shopping, Amy has repeatedly delayed her big day. CHANGING SHAPE Fresh issues were sparked after fans noticed her drastic weight loss. Amy recently came under fire after showing off her significant body overhaul and admitting she had lost two stone. Who is Amy Childs? Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer. She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2's reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex. She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss. A particularly memorable scene involved her "vajazzling" Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon. She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth. She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It's All About Amy on Channel 5. Two years later she competed in Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated. She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products. The busy working mum then admitted she "can't stop being sick" just days after the weight loss backlash. Yet in a bid to put rumours of "fat jabs" to bed, Amy has finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone. Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. 'She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. 'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress." Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections." 6 Amy recently opened up on her weight loss after fan concern Credit: Instagram 6 She told how she was 'gutted' at the postponement of her nuptials Credit: Instagram

Dear Richard Madeley: ‘I am totally terrified of getting naked with a potential new lover'
Dear Richard, I'm a divorced mother of two and I've been cautiously dipping a toe into the dating scene. Apart from a couple of comically horrific evenings, I have enjoyed meeting new people and feeling I was interesting, and might be attractive to mostly quite presentable men. However, I didn't feel any sort of spark until a few weeks ago, when I met someone I'd definitely like to take things further with. My problem is that while I look OK in clothes (I am small but curvy), I hate-hate- hate my naked body, and I am terrified of what will happen if a potential lover sees it. My husband left me for another woman, which is part of the problem, but not all of it: there is no getting around the fact that motherhood and time have both taken their toll. I am sure this man won't run out of the bedroom screaming, if it should come to that point, and perhaps he isn't such a magnificent specimen himself – who knows? But it's the prospect of that flicker of disappointment in the air and on his face that I can't bear; it will be all I can do not to run out of the room myself. How can I get over this hurdle and take this promising new relationship to the next level? – Amy, via Dear Amy, OK, let's take this to its logical conclusion. If you're never going to let a potential lover ever see your naked body, then you're never ever going to have sex again, are you? You might as well join the nearest convent. Look around you: at the couples shopping together at your local supermarket. Or having coffee at a pavement café. Or grabbing a bite at your favourite pub or restaurant. Let's assume roughly 50 per cent of them have reasonably regular sex together. Are they all perfect physical specimens – toned, chisel-jawed, luscious-lipped? Er… no. They'll look just like most of us do when we're undressed. Imperfect. Flawed. Probably slightly or even hugely embarrassed about it. Just like you. And, probably, your potential paramour. Relax, Amy. Sexual attraction is not, thank the stars, dependent on physical perfection. If it were, the human race would have died out one generation after Adam and Eve. If you do get to this stage with this chap, he'll probably be as nervous as you.

Amy Childs breaks cover in first snaps after dramatic weight loss admission
Amy Childs has been seen out and about just days after she opened up about the reason behind her dramatic weight loss and cancelling her upcoming wedding Amy Childs has stepped out after revealing the sad reason behind her ongoing weight loss. The reality star who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex recently sparked concern amongst her fans due to her appearance, but has since opened up on the truth behind it. The 34-year-old has shed two stone in recent months and has been very open about her transformation and the secret heartache she has been enduring behind the scenes. Earlier this week, the mum-of-four headed out in Brentwood, Essex, as she ran some errands. Amy looked sensational in a brown tracksuit while removing a parking ticket from her large black SUV. She completed her look with chunky platform beige sandals, as the nation enjoyed a recent stream of hot air over the past few weeks. Her brunette hair was styled into loose natural waves, flowing freely over her shoulder and down her back as she clung onto a green bag while going about her day, with her car keys in her hand. Notably, Amy's engagement ring was not on her finger, but sources have since insisted that she only took it off to attend the gym. Fans of Amy have recently been left divided, while some have been concerned, others have been impressed, explaining that she looked like a "different person." But Amy herself has spoken openly about her weight loss journey over the past few months. But Amy has also been subjected to cruel trolling from online users over her new look. "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors," she bravely opened up to the Mirror. She went on to add: "I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack." The reality star went on to explain that while some have voiced concerns for her, she's not worried about herself. She said: "People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. "We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids. But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years, I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge." She later went on to slam the "unfair" criticism of her appearance on social media, admitting she had been open about losing too much weight and is now working to gain weight. While some critics have questioned whether she is using medication to lose weight, she explained she's not and has only tried them once, around 18 months ago. But the medication, often used to treat serious health issues, left her extremely unwell, and she was throwing up for three days. "It scared me, so I stopped immediately," she stressed. Prior to using the jab, Amy had a half-hour consultation with a private doctor who checked her weight and blood pressure before she was prescribed the lowest dosage of the medication. However, her fiancé, Billy, said he felt as though she didn't need the medication. But Amy insisted she wanted to "look amazing" for her wedding day and wanted to lose weight after giving birth to her twins. "It's not the reason for my weight loss," she insisted as she hit back at the claims. Since then, she has undergone a strict healthy eating routine and gruelling workouts to lose weight in a more natural way and is having regular consultations with a weight loss coach based in Dubai.
