TWO Hampshire beauties last night missed out on the coveted Miss England crown.
Hayley Adlam and Georgina Rickman had a tough task on their hands, as they faced 60 other stunning ladies from across the country in the grand finals of the prestigious national beauty pageant, held at the Riviera International conference centre in Torquay.
Miss Hampshire 2013 winner Hayley, 22, from Fordingbridge had a very strong showing in the sports round, but it wasn't enough to take home the crown of Miss England, which was won by 24-year-old Kirsty Heslewood from Hertfordshire.
