The organiser of Miss Cheshire has backed calls to scrap a make-up free round.

Miss England is considering ditching its 'Bare Face Top Model' contest after it divided opinion among beauty queens.

The round has been included in the national competition for the past six years as a way of promoting natural beauty.

However, following backlash from contestants, a vote will be held to decide whether it will remain in the 2025 pageant.

 Celebrity make-up artist Sean Maloney, organiser of Miss Cheshire, is among those who wants the make-up free round to go.

He said: "I don't want the make-up free round at Miss England to stay because I think wearing make-up isn't always about beautification but about confidence and a general love for cosmetics and the industry.

"Whether someone is wearing make-up or not shouldn't be a factor which determines if they become Miss England.

"Their talent, charisma, fundraising, stage presence and commitment to the system and greater good should be what determines if they win Miss England.

"Although I think the bare face round is a great way to celebrate natural beauty, I don't believe this round plays a vital part in determining who should become the next Miss England."
