A BIDEFORD beauty has reached the finals of two UK competitions - Princess of the World and Miss Model International.
They take place in London in April.
Zoiey-Marie Smale, 20, who is currently a student clinical physiologist studying in Oxford, won Miss Oxfordshire last year.
She is also taking part in Miss Great Britain, Miss Universe GB, Miss Earth England and Miss Galaxy UK this year.
Zoiey told the Gazette that she is trying to break into the modelling business and has an ambition to be featured on a massive billboard or on the front cover of a magazine.
"I had the urge to compete in beauty pageants after my nan passed away in 2008," she said.
