Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge, first runner-up in the 2009 national contest, has become the new Miss England after Rachel Christie stepped down following her arrest over nightclub brawl with another beauty queen, Sara Beverly Jones.
L/Cpl Hodge is a serving member of the British Army from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. She has been given leave from her duties as a soldier and will represent England in the Miss World Final in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday December 12.
Recently she has made the headlines again for being the first member of the British Armed Forces to enter a beauty pageant. The interest in Hodge’s job and her mission to show that beauty queens can have brains as well as looks hit every national newspaper in 2008 and she is also well known as “Combat Barbie”
“You hear girls in beauty pageants talking about wanting world peace, but I’m out there trying to achieve peace for real and I want more girls to join up,” she told The Sun.
