A Balham resident has been selected to take part in the London heat of this year’s Miss Swimsuit UK.
The event, which takes place at DSTRKT at 8pm on May 25, will have 20 girls from across the country competing to become Miss Swimsuit UK, the final of which is later this year.
Eliza Buer, 23, said she feels “blessed” to be selected.
She said: “It’s given me a huge confidence boost to even be selected and to compete alongside such beautiful girls because the past few months I have been low on self-esteem.”
Eliza, a DSTRKT promoter, was in a “horrible” six-year relationship in Norwich that “broke her as a person” but since moving London she is happier than ever.
Her chosen charity is Cancer Research and she entered the competition because her friends told her she should.
To prepare for the competition, Eliza is “continuing to eat well and going to the gym”.
