A Torfaen woman is a finalist in Miss Wales 2025.
Alice-Sophie Roberts, 18, is one of 40 women selected for next year’s event which attracted around 1,000 applicants.
She spotted a story about Miss Wales in a local newspaper and decided to apply: “I just applied and didn’t think anything of it. I had a Zoom call and was interviewed and got chosen. In January, I’ve got my first photoshoot. At the end of January, I’m doing a Women’s Aid Ambassador programme.
“It’s a confidence boost and you meet a lot of new people.”
Miss 2025 takes place over three days, starting with an empowerment day followed by a ball at the Holland House Hotel in Cardiff. The grand finale is at the Riverfront Theatre in Newport.
The Pontymoile resident has just completed a business admin apprenticeship at a finance company in Newport. She said: “I couldn’t ask for a better team. They are amazing.”
She said it was the first event like this that she’d entered, but in 2018, she competed in the Dance World Cup for Wales, and the team came second.
In January, she’s doing a sponsored walk up Pen y Fan to raise money for Beauty With Purpose, a charity that supports “projects worldwide, from building schools and medical clinics to supporting orphanages and providing disaster relief. Every donation goes directly toward initiatives that uplift and empower communities, giving children a brighter future and transforming lives one step at a time.”
