Miss Northern Ireland 2019

Lauren Leckey, 20, was the winner of the 2019 Miss Northern Ireland contest, held at the Europa Hotel, in Belfast, last Monday night.

The beauty from Stoneyford wowed judges in the contest and last year's winner Katharine Walker passed the crown on to her.

The former Hunter House College student, who currently works as a sales representative, will now go on to represent the country in Miss World 2019, in Thailand, on December 7th.

As part of her prize she will also take home a designer wardrobe from Rosie's Closet and now has a modelling contract with ACA Models as well as a year's supply of beauty treatments, in addition to a Mini Cooper car.

Congratulations!
