This year s 34 regional finalists - including reigning Miss England and NHS doctor Dr Bhasha Mukherjee - have uploaded make-up free selfies to social media which the public can now vote on.
The no make-up round was first introduced by the pageant two years ago as a way to promote a more realistic body image, but contestant say the initiative is all the more fitting this year as it highlights the reality of lockdown.
Miss England organiser, Angie Beasley, said the round was introduced after she became shocked at the amount of young contestants undergoing lip filler treatments and Botox.
