50s/60s local beauty queen

OK one for the wrinklies and older folks who use this site , .......anyone remember the local girl, think she came from Huncoat or Simonstone area who used to do the national beauty contests in the late 50s early 60s ? having flashbacks here and seem to remember she used to knock about with Derek Dougan (Blackburn Rovers player) and described her occupation on televised beauty competions as a 'milkmaid', she will have to be in her 60s these days .....wonder how time has treated her and what happened to her in her life ....:D :D :D
She used to appear regularly on the early Saturday evening TV program (black and white TV) broadcast from a different resort every week

;) ;)

I remember her - she originates from Clayton-le-Dale, not our Clayton-le-Moors, so I would not describe her as one of 'ours'.
I once saw her with Dougan in the stand watching Burnley. Close up she had orange make up that looked 1/2" thick. (miaooww)

Here she is winning in 1959, with I think a young Patrick MacNee, whom I presume was a judge. (Is the other man Adam Faith?)
