Miss England and her pageant winner pals: VERY steamy bikini shoot in Mauritius

Daily Mail reports that Miss England Elizabeth Grant posed in her bikini on the seaside shoot in Mauritius with 2015 winner Natasha Hemmings, Miss North West, and Miss Hope Valley. She may be the current Miss England, but Elizabeth Grant doesn't have to worry about the country's winter weather. The beauty queen, 20, fled the aftermath of Storms Doris and Ewan for sunny Mauritius, where she was joined by a trio of equally glamorous friends for a sizzling bikini shoot.  Natasha Hemmings, the 2015 Miss England, joined her successor on the beach, as did Miss North West Lucy Physick, and Miss Hope Valley Stephanie Hill.  Psychology student Elizabeth, from Preston in Lancashire, was first scouted walking home after the night shift at her local bar.  And the 6ft tall stunner, who was the first black Miss England winner to make it to Miss World, proved she can pose with the best of them as she strutted her stuff on a luxury yacht and frolicked in the waves. Between putting on a sultry display in an array of sexy swimwear - from a colourful bikini to a plunging yellow one piece - Elizabeth enjoyed exploring island life with her boyfriend, former Bolton Wanderers footballer Curtis Hayley. And while staying at the luxurious Radisson Blu Zauri Resort and Spa, the Miss England girls all had the chance to flex their modelling muscles as they slipped into bikinis and costumes designed by Beachwear Mauritius. Mr England, Aldi shop worker Chris Bramell, was also invited on the luxury trip - bringing along girlfriend Brittany Connor to celebrate her 21st birthday.

Five things actor Maps Maponyane loves about Mauritius 

Top Billing presenter, actor, model and budding entrepreneur Maps Maponyane, who recently visited Mauritius, may be considered as a top ambassador for our country.  He has shared with the South African Media his travelling experiences of Mauritius and the top five things he loved when he visited the country for the first time. “Initially, I thought that spending five days in Mauritius was too long, but I ended up having so much more to do and didn’t even get to do everything.

The People

Every country is judged by its people and how it welcomes outsiders. If the people are welcoming, it makes travelling and learning about the country so much easier. People from Mauritius made the trip to the country even more special and unforgettable. “The one thing that stands out for me at any place is the people. What was nice even though we got there at night on the first day, it immediately felt like paradise, because of how everyone was so welcoming. They made sure that we had a really good time, that I really appreciated,” he says.

The Beaches 

What would a trip in Mauritius be without exploring the country’s stunning beaches. The beaches are incredible, crystal clear where you can look down at the rock surface, they make everything postcard perfect with that aqua green colour and that Mediterranean blue throughout the island which was incredible.

The Boat trip

The boat trip was phenomenal, we went through a waterfall which was amazing. This was a phenomenal experience as was the Île aux Cerfs Island, where we got to enjoy lunch.

Learning how to paddle board 

I really enjoyed learning how to paddle board.  Even though Maps was doing this for the first-time, he says he really enjoyed the experience.

Relaxing holiday

While he is an adventurous person, Maps says Mauritius is the best place for a relaxing holiday and would recommend others to explore the country.
