A BUDDING beauty queen from Chester University needs a sponsor as she bids to be Miss Universe UK.
Student Jessica O’Neill, 19, of Eastham, is in the second year of a business studies and criminology degree at Chester University and needs to find £250 to compete after being one of 40 models in the final in Birmingham in May.
Jess, who is a community volunteer for Cheshire Police, said: “It is an opportunity and an experience.
“I was a finalist in Miss England 2007.
“ My stepmum, Julie, has done modelling and I have followed in her footsteps.
Jess needs a sponsor by the end of February to be able to compete in the finals in May.
