A bride-to-be was dumped by her fiancé three years ago for being too fat.
The woman has now been crowned Miss Great Britain after losing eight stone.
After being dumped by her fiancé three years ago for being too fat, 26-year-old Jen Atkin decided to take revenge on him.
Jen, an aviation administrator from Ulceby, stopped eating takeaways and began eating healthy food.
She lost eight stone and went from a size 22 to a size 10 in two years.
Jen, who is now happily married, went on to become Miss Great Britain after becoming the first runner up at Miss England competition in 2018.
Last Friday, she won the title for the 75th Miss Great Britain in Leicester.
After winning the pageant, Jen said she is very happy and still can’t believe she has been crowned Miss Great Britain.
She said: “When I started doing this it was just for a bit of fun, I never imagined how far I would come. Three years ago I would never ever expected to be winning Miss GB.
“Hard work really does pay off.”
She said her journey for winning Miss Great Britain has been very long but amazing.
She said her body has changed after losing weight but her personality is the same and that’s what made her the winner.
Jen said: “I think that’s really helped me. The judges were able to see what kind of person I really am.”
Talking about her fiancé who dumped her for being too fat, she said she cried for weeks after the day he left.
She thought her world had ended but it ended up being the best thing that’s happened to her.
She said: “[Before we broke up] I would eat huge portions of pasta or pizza then a family-size chocolate bar.”
“At weekends, we’d turn into virtual recluses sitting on the sofa in our pyjamas eating takeaways – spending £20 each time.”
After the breakup, she started going to her local gym, stopped eating unhealthy food and started focusing on boosting her career.
She said: “I’m over the moon. I have so much in the pipeline for my reign, including the release of my next country single this Spring.”
