Miss Swimsuit UK 2016 in Viva

Last night I dropped into the gorgeous new club VIVA for on Witworth St for the Miss Swimsuit UK Competition, which raises money for the Clare Daly Foundation and awareness of skin cancer. I was dressed so smart that the lovely organiser Verena mistook me for a judge.

Once inside I spotted boxing ring girls and current Miss Manchester Gabby Taylor and former Miss Manchester Sara Beverley.

Both girls were part of the judging panel, which also included Sophie Dalzell and Ann Denise Wilson.

Also in attendance: Dane Bowers! I'd have to be Out Of My Mind not to get a picture with him.

Fashionista Jsky gave a cool performance with his new single Myself.

I also spotted Jem Lucy from Ex on the Beach.

Chantelle took third place, with Hannah in second. The winner of the night: Monika!

Tonioght's winner: Monika Majgier-Sztabnik

A well-deserved win.

Great atmosphere and a fun night. Brilliantly organised by Verena and her team and attended by some friendly, cool people. Looking forward to the next one! Keep your eyes on Manchester Cool Bars if you're looking for people to go with.
