Britain’s most glamorous mum and daughter make history by reaching Miss England finals — 39 years apart
BRITAIN’S most glamorous mum and daughter have made history by reaching the Miss England finals — 39 years apart.
Tabitha Bennett, 20, was crowned Miss Lancashire last week to reach the beauty pageant’s national final after her mum Vicky, 60, did the same back in 1986.
The pair are the first mother and daughter to both reach the Miss England finals in the contest’s 97-year history.
While Vicky made the top 15 almost four decades ago, Tabitha is hoping to go one better to take the crown and the chance to become the next Miss World.
Tabitha, of Knutsford, Cheshire, said: “My mum had always encouraged me to enter pageants and one day I just thought why not.
“I won Miss Cheshire in my first ever competition, which got me through to the Miss Great Britain final, where I won the public vote.
“Then I won Miss Blackpool, which is an independent event, and that was very special because my mum also won it back in 1984.
“But Miss England is the ultimate goal for everyone. It’s the most exciting thing as you could become Miss World.
“I was really shocked to win Miss Lancashire, it’s been quite a ride as its a hattrick of pageants and I only started doing them last August.
“I’ve made so many amazing friends already and it’s really good fun.
“I don’t put any pressure on myself and I just go out there and enjoy it.
“I feel really proud. To win a big one like Miss England would be incredible.”
Back in the 1980s, Vicky even competed alongside current Miss England director Angie Beasley in competitions up and down the country.
Vicky said: “When she’s out there, she just transforms into a different girl – she’s so relaxed and laid back but you can see she’s out there to win it.
“It does make you proud to see her out there doing the same as I was.
“I’m a bit pathetic if I’m honest, I cried when she was in the choir so you can only imagine what this has been like for me.
“I have seen her confidence grow each time. This time she absolutely blew it out of the water.
“When she walked onto the stage, we all said: ‘Wow!’ She was spectacular. It is a massive achievement.
“These girls are making a difference. It is about women empowering women.
“They all support each other and go on to do really good things for charities and good causes.”

My husband is sexting his colleague and I don’t know what to do
DEAR DEIDRE: READING saucy messages from my husband to a woman colleague was awful – and it got even worse when I saw what he thought about me.
According to him she is “stunning”, while I “look like I’ve just got out of bed”.
He wants to take her to bed all day long, while he never wants to touch me.
And, the most hurtful, she makes him feel good, while he finds me “repulsive”.
Like most other married couples, our sex life has slowed down but I thought he was happy with me.
We are both in our late-40s and have been married for 26 years.
I don’t dress up all the time but I do make an effort when we go out and I still exercise regularly.
I was so upset after seeing the constant stream of flirty — and personally insulting — messages that I confronted my husband.
Rather than apologise, or ask for forgiveness, he’s told me not to be so nosey and even accused me of being overly sensitive.
He insisted I was making a big drama out of nothing and they were simply friendly workmates.
He did tell me he would delete the messenger app they were talking on, but I’ve been checking regularly and it’s still there.
Not only that, the flirty messages are continuing. I don’t know if they have cheated in real life but even if they haven’t it feels as if they are building up to that.

The latest development is they have started to send each other sexy pictures.
It’s like standing on the roadside slowly watching an avoidable collision.
I’m not sure what I can do. My husband is doing exactly what he wants with no consideration for me and I feel like I have no say in anything.
I’ve seen photos of this other woman and she looks very high maintenance. I can’t compete with that.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your husband has created a narrative that leaves you feeling powerless. He is lying to you and manipulating you.
Even if he hasn’t physically cheated on you, these suggestive messages are not the acts of someone in a committed relationship.
And that is before you even consider the saucy photos they are exchanging.
Colleagues, even ones who get on, don’t sext each other and they certainly don’t denigrate their partners.

I’m afraid to say your husband is showing some serious narcissistic traits.
Just because he isn’t listening to you doesn’t mean that you don’t have a say.
You can choose whether you stay with him or not.
One thing is clear – continuing to live without love, respect or consideration will only cause you damage.
My support pack How Counselling Can Help will explain how you can get the support you need because you deserve so much better than this.
WHY DO I FIND SEX SO DULL?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend is very loving and supportive, but I have no interest in having sex at all.
I’d rather have a cup of tea in bed than a kiss and cuddle.
It just doesn’t seem to do it for me. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it is boring.
I’m 19 and my boyfriend is 21. We’ve been together for just over two years. We get on so well except when it comes to the bedroom.
This is my second serious relationship and my first boyfriend finished with me because there was no passion. I hear women talk about orgasms and urges – but neither are things I’ve ever experienced.
My boyfriend is so understanding and wants to help.
He has tried everything to get me interested, but nothing seems to get my sex drive going. I worry that I might lose my boyfriend as he will get bored with me.
I don’t know what to do to change this. I am starting to think there is something wrong with me.
DEIDRE SAYS: If you’ve never enjoyed sex much, perhaps it’s because you and your boyfriend don’t know enough about female sexuality.
During sex, pay attention to what feels good for you and what turns you on and tell your boyfriend.
Masturbation is a great way to explore your sexuality and work out what turns you on.
My support pack Understanding Female Pleasure explains more.
SIS NEVER GIVES ME ANY SPACE
DEAR DEIDRE: LIVING with my sister means I never get time to myself. She has no social life and never goes out.
I’m her 59-year-old brother and am divorced with no children. My sister’s 65 and single.
We’ve lived together for almost ten years since our mum died and left us the family home.
I love my sister. She has always been good to me and she has a heart of gold.
She is fantastic at keeping our home spick and span but she never ventures outdoors. She is starting to get on my nerves, but I would feel bad if I were to tell her.
She retired from her job as a teacher a few years ago.
I have subtly suggested that she investigates volunteering but she is content to potter in the garden, read and watch endless television programmes.
DEIDRE SAYS: Living with a sibling can be challenging but you’ve successfully navigated this for ten years.
After a long career teaching, your sister is no doubt glad of the peace and tranquillity of home.
Pick a moment to talk to her about needing some free time for yourself, otherwise your frustration could get the better of you, causing a row you would regret.
Perhaps you could divide your home into communal and separate areas to establish some autonomy.
CUT OFF FROM FAMILY AFTER HOLIDAY ROW
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER a holiday from hell, my son has not spoken to me, nor have I seen my lovely grandson.
I am 57. My son and daughter-in-law invited me to go on holiday with them to Spain and I was overjoyed as I love spending time with them.
We all get on so well, or so I thought.
Everything was fine at first although I do have to bite my tongue on occasion as, although he is adorable, I think my seven-year-old grandson does seem to call the shots.
One morning, I decided to go to a little cafe I’d spotted on the beach.
I didn’t know that my family had organised a special birthday lunch for me.
They couldn’t reach me on my mobile, as I had left it charging back in my room. I didn’t intend to stay at the cafe for long, but I fell into conversation with some other Brits on holiday and the time just flew by.
When I did return to the apartment, I apologised for being out so long, but there was a big argument and my son told me to leave and not come back.
The rest of the holiday was a nightmare.
I have always been a hands-on grandma, often looking after my grandson during the holidays and babysitting at the drop of a hat but now we are back home they have cut me off.
I am so upset, but I don’t know how to handle this. I’d love things to get back to normal, and maybe invite them all over.
DEIDRE SAYS: No parent likes to be criticised over how they are raising their children, and although you kept your counsel, they will no doubt have picked up on your disapproval.
Your son will likely be regretting the row now. Send him a text saying how much you love and miss them all, and you are sorry you have all fallen out.
I hope they will accept your apology and that you can invite them round for Sunday lunch soon.

Surprising reason why tall footballer are more likely to receive yellow cards, according to experts
REFEREES are more likely to dish out yellow cards to footie players who are taller than them, experts have found.
And they reckon it is a classic case of “short man syndrome”.
Players taller than the referee have 9.4 per cent more fouls given against them and are 7.2 per cent more likely to get a card.
Players who are shorter are 12.3 per cent less likely to be done for a foul and 16.5 per cent less likely to get a yellow.
The team at Germany’s University of Hagen analysed 2,340 games in the Bundesliga.
They said: “This bias is consistent with the Napoleon complex, where shorter individuals show compensatory behaviours for lacking social dominance through height.”
French general Napoleon, only 5ft 6in, told a rival: “You may be taller, but I am greater.”
Earlier in the week Premier League referees’ huge pay packets were revealed – and it showed they are among the country’s top earners.
Their salaries appeared to reflect their growing status in the game and the increasing pressure they are under every week as billions watch worldwide.
Figures provided by chief refereeing officer Howard Webb in a meeting of the 72 EFL clubs revealed what kind of money the Prem’s officials are pocketing, as reported by The Times.
They showed that the average salary for a Premier League referee is between £170,000 and £180,000.
While the top referees are earning around £250,000 per year.
Officials are paid their salary at a base rate, which is then boosted by performance bonuses and match fees.
That base rate ranges between £72,000 and £148,000, and varies according to experience and seniority in the role.
Senior officials, such as Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver, are likely to earn around £250,000 a year from their Premier League roles.
Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu addresses feud with Elma Pazar after friendship crumbled in All Stars villa
LOVE Island All Stars’ Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu has addressed her bust-up with co-star Elma Pazar on the show.
During her time in the All Stars villa Ekin, 30, became involved in a number of dramas, but the one that got the most attention was her arguments with Elma.
In the most recent season of the ITV reality dating series, Elma got annoyed at Ekin for kissing Sammy Root while performing a sexy dance in the Heart Rate challenge.
Ekin’s most recent comments about the feud addressed the online trolling Elma has faced since the scenes aired on television.
“I’m against bullying online and I think she had a lot of hate, which I don’t like,” the reality TV star told The Sun on Sunday.
“I know how that feels and I just hope she’s OK.”
Of their argument Ekin added: “We squashed it in the villa and we’ve moved on.
“She’s found love and I’ve found love. I wish her the best.
“If I see her, I’ll say hi. I haven’t seen any of them [Sammy and Elma] since coming out of the villa really.
“So for me, we’re all busy. There is no bad blood.”
Ekin-Su, rose to fame on a previous season of Love Island, where she found love with Davide Sanclimenti, with whom she would go on to win the competition in 2022.
The pair eventually split up, and Ekin travelled to South Africa earlier this year to compete in Love Island All Stars where she made an instant connection with dancer, Curtis Pritchard.
Curtis, 29, first appeared on Love Island in series five of the ITV2 show in 2019.
In her interview with The Sun, Ekin opened up about her relationship with Curtis.
She told how the pair have discussed moving in together and even started dreaming of the day they will get married.
“It’s not a showmance, it’s real. It just feels right. It feels healthy and I am myself,” Ekin said addressing rumours their relationship is a PR sham.
“I am not on edge, I feel happy and I can be who I am with him, without walking on eggshells.”
She added: “The next thing we’re doing is meeting his mum and dad, because we have been non-stop.
“I really want to meet his mum Debbie, she sounds amazing.”
When speaking about plans for marriage, Ekin said “As long as I’m not proposing, I think yes.”
