Miss Great Britain
Kobi-Jean Cole
O
n the panel of judges for Miss Great Britain this year was our very own Ruthie Deane. Supportive of UK events and the discovery of new talent, EM Magazine is always keen to meet the contestants. This year the title went to the very beautiful Kobi-Jean Cole from Bristol. At the age of 24 Kobi aspires to be an actress and presenter along with working with vulnerable people during her reign in 2018 / 2019. Having won a photo shoot with EM Magazine we caught up with Kobi over a cuppa and took a few shots of this very beautiful and down to earth lady. 36
“I finally won Miss Great Britain back in September 2018 after my third attempt of competing in the pageant. I entered in 2015, went travelling for a year and came back in 2016 placing in top 5 both years. I decided to take a year out and came back this year with a whole different state of mind. I felt totally myself and relaxed about the whole thing and I think that’s honestly what won it for me. In my year out I tried to focus on myself and got back into acting as this has always been a passion of mine as I have studied film, media, performing arts and theatre. I turned 24 this month so really want to focus this year on my career and feel that winning Miss Great Britain has been the perfect way to encourage
me to focus all of my time on it. I will also advocating CPR awareness and have become an ambassador for the Matt Fiddes Hero campaign. A fun fact about me is that I am naturally blonde! My eyebrows have always made me feel that I was really destined to be a brunette! Don’t you think? My name is from a place in Japan called Kobe. At the time my dad was supposed to be working there but didn’t as my mum went into labour with me! Had he have gone to work he would have been involved in a earthquake! So my parents believe that I saved him and called me Kobi!” You can follow Kobi on instagram at @missgreatbritain18_19 and the Miss Great Britain team at @missbg_official
