A FORMER Miss Scotland has revealed she’s embracing her wrinkles after feeling the “pressure” to look perfect.
Jennifer Reoch, 36, has taken inspiration from sofa queen Lorraine Kelly in her bid to look natural without cosmetic procedures.
The ex-model, from Glasgow, was crowned Miss Scotland in 2011 and is no stranger to glam photoshoots and TV appearances.
She entered - and won - the annual beauty pageant before finishing seventh inMiss World.
But she is more than happy to embrace her natural beauty without the full glam look on a daily basis.
She told the Sunday Post :“I can see I have some wrinkles, but that’s fine. It’s who I am and, right now, I’m leaning into the face I’ve got.
“I do feel the pressure to look perfect, but I know that’s not really possible all the time.
“I used to come into the Heart studios looking like you’d expect to look at that time of the morning. There are cameras in the studio but I didn’t care. That’s how I am in the morning!”
She added: “I have friends who might have had a cosmetic procedure and I fully support them if that’s what they want.
“I wouldn’t criticise them because who knows how I’ll feel in a few years’ time? Maybe I’ll be doing the same.”
“Lorraine Kelly is a bit of an inspiration for me, and not only for what she’s accomplished in broadcasting. She looks fantastic and she’s very natural. I’d love to be more Lorraine.”
Beauty queen turned radio breakfast host Jennifermarriedher fiancé Jamie Hunter in 2023 after 12 years together.
