MRP SPOTLIGHT: AMY WILLERTON
Our spotlight of the week combines both beauty and brains in a gorgeous package. Discovered at the age of 15, Amy has gone on to conquer the showbiz industry with several beauty pageant titles under her belt.
Born in Bristol, England, she started her modelling career in 2001 after being scouted by Kate Marshall of Room 3 Agency on a normal shopping trip with her sister. By 17 years old, Amy won Miss Bristol, continued on to bag the Miss Bath title in 2011 and Miss London in 2012. She placed top 5 in the Miss England pageant.
Amy has also appeared on major catwalks all over the world for brands such as Guess and has been the face of Sure and Slendertone. In 2013, Amy was crowned Miss Universe Great Britain and went on to represent her country in the Miss Universe 2013 contest in Russia. She finished in the top 10, becoming the first UK contestant in 30 years to achieve this feat.
Alongside her modelling achievements, Amy also has a very successful TV career. She began covering events for Fashion TV as a teenager and is well known for competing in ITV’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! She made 5th place and became a household name across Britain.
Her stunning bombshell looks comes complete with a soft heart. Amy was an ambassador for St Christopher’s School on the Downs where her autistic brother, Ross, attended. She ran the London Marathon in 2014 to raise money for charity. In 2016, she hosted an Oscars viewing party for the Children Uniting Nations charity.
Amy has recently relocated to LA and when asked in a recent interview about her future plans, she remarked,
“We can’t control the future. I think you have to let go of plans if you want to live the life that’s waiting for you.”
