Halle-Blu takes international pageant crown

Halle-Blu Morrison attended the finals in Florida, USA, and beat off hundreds of contestants from all over the world to take the coveted title.

The 12-year-old said: “I am so thrilled and honoured to be crowned the first Junior Miss Galaxy international from the UK and I am so excited for my year as the title holder.”

Halle-Blu who is an elite gymnast and National Champion cheerleader and will be attending numerous National and International events over the next year as a part of her international reign.

The Hipperholme Grammar student first decided she wanted to compete in pageants after watching her mum, Robyn Morrison,(pictured) become a success.

“I saw my mum competing and it just looked like a lot of fun. I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t. When I won my first pageant I didn’t know whether to take my crown into school or not, but my friends wanted to see it and now a lot of them want to take part too.”

Robyn used to be an undercover policewoman before playing Terri Hall, a policewoman in the Australian soap Neighbours. She then moved to the UK where she married former Rugby League player Glenn Morrison, swapping her uniform for a tiara when she won the title Mrs Galaxy Europe in 2012.

And it seems that young Halle-Blu is now following in her mum’s successful footsteps. She already holds the title of undefeated European chearleading champion, as well as being an elite gymnast.

“I am so thrilled and honoured to be crowned the first Junior Miss Galaxy international from the UK and I am so excited for my year as the title holder,” she said.

When asked about what she enjoys about competing to be a beauty queen and she said: “I like meeting the other girls and raising money for charity,” she says, explaining that all the contestants in Galaxy UK are encouraged to support a particular good cause.
