Amy Willerton: Workout, Diet and Skincare Secrets Revealed

Amy Willerton was born on 18th August 1992 in Bristol. She is a British model who won the title of Miss Universe Great Britain 2013 and represented Great Britain at the Miss Universe 2013 pageant.

Willerton was born in Westbury Park, Bristol. Her father, Bruce Willerton (born 1958), is a keen athlete and competitive triathlete who finished in 44th place in the 2009 Perth ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships, and often races for charity. She attended St Ursula's School in Bristol until Year 6 and then Cotham School in Bristol. She began her modelling career at fifteen, after being scouted by Kate Marshall of Room 3 model agency while out shopping with her sister.

At age 17, Willerton won Miss Bristol in 2010. She went on to win Miss Bath in 2011 and Miss London in 2012. At the Miss England contest in 2012, she reached the top five.
In 2011, Willerton caused controversy at the Miss Asia Pacific World pageant, held in South Korea, while representing Wales. Along with a number of other representatives, Willerton claimed the pageant had been fixed after the girl representing Venezuela was apparently placed runner-up of the talent round before she had competed. Led by Willerton, a number of contestants demanded answers from organisers and later made claims that some contestants had been offered automatic top-ranking placements in exchange for sex, by organisers.

The events were filmed by Willerton and other contestants (which were later uploaded to YouTube under the title "Confessions of a Beauty Queen" and spread throughout the pageant industry). Subsequently, she and the representatives from Guyana and Costa Rica fled their hotel to the airport, claiming the pageant organisers had tried to keep them there against their will and had followed them to the airport to stop them escaping. The organisers strongly denied all accusations.

On 8 June 2013, Willerton was crowned Miss Universe Great Britain in Birmingham and was quickly tipped as a potential winner of Miss Universe by international media and pageant forums. On 9 November 2013, Willerton participated at the Miss Universe contest in Moscow, where she became the first woman competing as Miss Great Britain to place in the semifinals, eventually finishing in the Top 10. Previous British contestants have placed as 1st Runner-up at Miss Universe, competing as Miss England, Miss Scotland and Miss Wales respectively. Willerton is the first UK contestant in thirty years, to reach the top ten at Miss Universe. The previous woman to achieve this being Karen Moore, who as Miss England, reached the top five in 1983.

In 2011, Willerton won the reality show Signed By Katie Price on Sky Living. In 2012, she worked as a presenter for Fashion TV. On 13 November 2013, Willerton competed on ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! filmed in Australia and placed 5th.Since December 2013, she has been linked to reality star Joey Essex after they appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! together. But now it is said they had a breakup.

Amy Willerton reveals her skin treatment

The 5ft 10in model, who represented Great Britain at the Miss Universe 2013 contest in Moscow earlier this month, had problems with her skin as a teenager. Before heading to Oz Amy, who won the series Signed by Katie Price, had facial peels and vitamin injections and underwent an intensive training programme to get her curves in top shape.

In between non-surgical treatments Amy used Slendertone Face, which directs electronic muscle stimulation (EMS) via a funky headset to encourage natural muscle contractions, so exercising the face involuntarily.

Working out the muscles regularly, it helps with the purification of the skin and improves complexion.

To prepare Amy for those shower shots, personal trainer Jarod Chapman designed a routine to tone up her abs. As part of this Amy using another Slendertone product - the Ab Belt - every weekday for 20 minutes to improve her muscle definition and tone.

Amy said: �Your stomach feels really tight after using the Ab Belt. I wear it while I am getting ready to go out, while I potter around the house or even when I am at the gym for a boosted work out." The results will be appreciated by viewers Amy unpeels her khaki clothing to wash wearing only a bikini � a scene which relaunched Mylene Klass� career in the 2006 series.

In an interview with Star magazine, the 21-year-old said she 'absolutely adores food'. "Even though I've been walking around for Miss Universe in a bikini, I've been munching on cookies whenever I can," the blonde beauty continued. The beauty queen also added: "I have bigger boobs and I've got a bum.". "I'm completely natural. I don't have hair extensions - there's nothing unnatural about me apart from my nail polish," she added.
