If they win, they will qualify for the competition’s international stages in Florida.

Claire has also won the title of Miss Cumbria Intercontinental and will compete for the England title in April.

“I hope I get the chance to bring a England crown back to Cumbria.”

Beth, who also reached the semi-final stage of Miss Teen Great Britain in February, said: “Reaching the semi-finals gave me that extra bit of confidence as it is a very big step for me.

“It is an amazing feeling and it is good to be part of it. I am really excited and I am proud of my family who have helped me out so much and of myself because I am performing for my home town. It is another step further into modelling.”
