Miss England beauty queen dropping glam catwalk for motorway as she trains to be trucker

dailystar.co.uk:

Miss England beauty queen is turning her back on pageants and kicking off her high-heels to swap them for a high-vis as she is set to become a lorry driver.The bombshell is turning her back on the pageantry world as she trains to become a lorry driver due to a shortage of UK truckers.Milly Everatt, 22, grew up on her parent’s farm and is working towards a new career in a traditionally male-dominated industry in order to challenge the stereotype many women within the industry face.She grew up on a farm so is no stranger to managing big vehicles as she used to drive tractors around.Milly is training for both her Class 1 and Class 2 HGV licence which could see her behind the wheel of 44-tonne lorries.She was inspired to make the jump after a combination of events, including Covid, Brexit and other factors which led to a shortage of HGV drivers across the country.The career change is a far cry from her glamourous pageant days as she walked the catwalk as a model and finalist in the Miss England beauty contest.The former Miss Lincolnshire was crowned Miss Charity in 2018 after raising the most money for good causes.Four years later, stunning Milly is now on course to become a lorry driver to prove it's "not just 40-year-old men" who can operate heavy-duty vehicles.It is currently estimated that only 1% to 3% of HGV drivers are female, something that Milly is trying to change.She said: “I think we’re in modern times and there’s nothing to stop girls getting involved in that kind of thing.“It’s not the norm but it should be.

It’s also something people don’t think about often, it’s not thought about enough in feminism.“Agriculture has been forgotten about by feminism."Anything that breaks the stereotype has to be a good thing.
