The possibility of a swimwear parade returning to the beauty pageant has generated debate.
There's been some debate around whether the Miss England swimwear round is outdated or a way of embracing body positivityThe swimwear parade for the Miss England beauty pageant was scrapped in 2009 after a campaign by former contestant Katrina Hodge.
Now organisers of the competition have said they're considering whether or not to bring back the swimwear round.The "beach beauty" round still exists but it's not compulsory - and rather than contestants parading on stage in their swimwear, they have the option to take part in a swimwear photo shoot., asking followers and current semi-finalists to help them make the final decision.
"When I first started competing in pageants, I found them quite nerve-racking but once I did my first swimsuit round my whole mindset just changed," she says. "I think for me I keep in mind they're not actually judging me on my size or appearance, it's more to do with just how confident and happy you are to be on stage."For Abigail, it's vital that women of all backgrounds, shapes and sizes are represented
