The 19-year-old hopes the competition will help raise the profile of the football club she has to pay to play for.

She said: “Unlike the men’s teams we don’t get the sponsors so we have to raise the profile of the club as much as we can.”

Loraine pays £250 every season so sign on for NUWFC and also runs for Gateshead Harriers.

The Miss Newcastle final is on Friday May 18, 2012. The winner at the Civic Centre will qualify for the semi-finals of Miss England.
