A woman teased at school for being 'fat and ugly' has beaten the bullies to become a Miss England beauty queen.
Dalia Cromwell, 24, was picked on as a youngster due to her size by cruel classmates who would whistle the McDonald's theme as she walked past.
They would also make 'rumbling earthquake' sounds as she went to classes and she resorted to eating lunch in the school toilets after ballooning to 15 stone.
Despite low self-esteem Dalia bounced back after creating an alter-ego called 'The Extra girl' on social media and she went on to lose four stone.
She began wearing brightly coloured suits and fur jackets and her new extravagant outlook on life quickly made her a huge hit on TikTok.
Dalia has since found internet fame as an influencer where her videos have received over 150 million views, 89 million likes and gained her 1.4 million followers.
And despite her tough school years, she says she is still proud of the life she has made for herself in Britain and would be honoured to be Miss England.
Dalia now lives in Kensington, South London, and also works in digital marketing after graduating from Bournemouth University with a marketing degree.
