Carina Tyrrell, (born 24 October 1989) is a Swiss-British doctor[1], model, charity ambassador and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss England 2014 and represented England at Miss World 2014. She became a celebrity after making international news for being the first woman from one of the top universities of the world, to participate in the beauty pageant.[2] She remains the most successful Miss England contestant ever, having won four of the ten qualifying rounds in the final of the competition, including the swimwear round.[3] Tyrrell studied medicine at Murray Edwards College[4] at the Cambridge University and received a first class degree, prizes and distinctions.[5]

Having declared herself a feminist, Tyrrell faced criticism from Germaine Greer, herself a Cambridge University graduate[6]. Tyrrell is a women's rights advocate, believing that women should be able to make their own choices and that women and men should collaborate and support one another.[7] Tyrrell supports various charities and her Beauty with a Purpose charity project for Miss World was in aid of the homeless.[8] She slept rough on the streets of Cambridge to raise awareness of homelessness,[9] She is an ambassador for homeless charities in both Cambridge and Oxford.[10]
