A CWMBRAN girl is celebrating after being chosen to represent Wales in a worldwide beauty pageant.

Five-year-old Miya Hall from Croesyceiliog will be travelling to London and Disneyland Paris to represent Wales in the Face of the Globe competition.

Miya beat the other girls in her age group (ages five to eight) to win her place in the regional finals which were held at Celtic Manor in September.

She will now travel to London on March 17 and then to Disneyland Paris on March 21 next year with 20 other finalists from Wales to go up against girls from other countries around the world.

Her mum, Katrina Hall, said: “I was so pleased and shocked when she won. I am really proud of her and excited as well.

“She did all sorts to raise money for her sponsorship form as well and did an online beauty contest. We are still raising money for when we go to Paris as well.

“Miya is so excited, she thinks she’s a little princess and wants to go on stage again. She’s such a confident little girl.”
