Lucie
Series about the UK's child beauty pageant industry follows 23-year-old model Lucie Brassington as she makes her debut at running her own pageant, Miss Mini Photogenic.
23-year-old model Lucie Brassington is running her own beauty pageant, Miss Mini Photogenic. From the age of six, girls have entered via the internet to try their hand at becoming the new face of this prestigious title. For most of the little girls who are competing it will be their first time walking down a catwalk, and for Lucie it's the first time she has ever run a pageant.
Ten-year-old Megan from Birmingham is one of six children, but is the only one who has ever wanted to perform on the stage. For the family it's a big investment and Megan has had to do her fair share of fundraising. After asking her neighbours and local shops if they would like to sponsor her, she has one last attempt at raising the money she needs.
Although she has never taken part in a beauty competition, 11-year-old Telka is an accomplished and talented actor who has appeared in a major TV series and is the voice behind a children's cartoon character. Her mum was a successful child model in Iran and now Telka is trying to follow in her footsteps.
For nine-year-old Karagh, it is not only her first pageant but also the first time she gets to stay in a hotel. Her 14-year-old auntie Kerry entered Karagh into the competition and although she thinks she has a good chance of winning, she's nervous about her gappy and wobbly teeth. But Kerry comes to the rescue and finds a beauty pageant secret that will cover up the gaps by coating Karagh's teeth in Vaseline.
On the day of the pageant, 26 grand finalist girls compete for this new title at Epsom Racecourse. It's a tense day for all of them, especially when some of the judges come down with swine flu, and Lucie and her mum go on a frantic search for a final judge with minutes to spare
