Miss GB Emma Rose Collingridge has reflected on “a once-in-a lifetime” experience after returning from the Miss Universe contest held for the first time in israel.
The English graduate from Suffolk was placed in the top 16 of the annual contest in Eilat, after spending over a week touring the country with 90 fellow beauty queens from around the globe.
Their trip included a visit to Jerusalem including the Tower of David, the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens and tea with deputy mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum. Contestants also enjoyed a visit to the Dead Sea.
“I was one of only two Europeans to make the top 16,” the 23-year-old told her followers on Instagram
“I’m still overwhelmed at hearing Great Britain being called. Had the most amazing time.” Collingridge described Israel as “beautiful”.
The contest was won by Miss India.
