British-Nigerian model, Temi Adeyemi, is set to compete in the Miss England beauty pageant after the original winner dropped out of the race to be a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.
The model, who is an account assistant from Enfield, Middlesex, came in as runner-up and will now compete as Miss London in the final.
This occurs after Natasha Beresford, the initial winner of the Miss London beauty pageant, was stripped of her title after withdrawing from the Miss England title race to be a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.
Natasha, who is a dental nurse and originally from Sheffield, said, 'Unfortunately, I will no longer be representing London and taking part in the Miss England national final in May.
'My best friend is getting married in the north of England on the same weekend, and I have already promised to be her bridesmaid.
'I would like to thank everyone for their support during my time in the contest, and I wish all the Miss England finalists the best of luck.'
Angie Beasley, national director of Miss England, revealed that runner-up Temi Adeyemi will now compete as Miss London in the Miss England final in Wolverhampton in May. She had an 'excellent chance' of winning.
