Teenager Jackie Green, who is the youngest Brit ever to undergo a sex change, just failed in her attempt to reach the finals of Miss England.

The 18-year-old was born Jack but has lived as a girl for the last eight years, undergoing surgery in Thailand to become Britain's youngest transsexual at the age of 16.

She was encouraged to enter Miss England by modelling scouts who had no idea of her history and reached the semi-final by winning a public vote in the heats.

But she narrowly missed out on reaching the final, with the semi-final involving a bootcamp in the morning, an interview process, fashion show and eco round, although she has vowed to return next year.
