A YORK girl has landed a place in the Little Miss Teen Great Britain 2022 semi-finals - and has set her sights on the final next year.

Yngrid Espinal, from Green Hammerton, has secured a place in the semi-final of the national competition.

The youngster said: “I am so excited to have made it to the semi final, it is a great achievement.

“Making it to the grand final would be a dream come true – fingers crossed I will be able to represent my hometown and win the Little Miss Teen Great Britain crown.”

Juniors from across Great Britain will compete for the crown in a “spectacular” grand final - which will be held in Blackpool next year.

The winner of Little Miss Teen Great Britain will walk away with some top-drawer prizes – including a cash sum.

A spokesperson for the competition said: “The weekend of Little Miss Teen Great Britain is set to be full of fun, with the finalists enjoying a Beauty Queen Challenge Day, a pyjama diva party and much more.

“This is going to be a fantastic day.”
