Valley girl: London-based student Alize Lily Mounter was born and raised in Pontypridd, but qualified for the contest thanks to the residency rule The new Miss England beauty queen has a secret - she is a pure Welshwoman from the Valleys.
Blonde model and journalism student Alize Lily Mounter, 22, was crowned Miss England earlier this week - even though she's as Welsh as daffodils and leeks.
Student Alize, who even speaks the tongue-twisting Welsh language, beat 63 English girls to win the title in London.
She missed out on winning the Miss Wales contest - but managed to pip the other contestants top the post to pick up the accolade of perfect English rose.
Alize qualified for Miss England because she now lives in Kensington, London, and studies at Roehampton University, after moving from her home village of Beddau in the South Wales valleys.
She said: 'I'm so excited, I can't believe it. I never expected to win.

'I'm proud to be representing England - but everyone who knows me will tell you that deep down I am very Welsh.'
Alize will now line up against the current Miss Wales Sara Manchipp, 21, in the Miss World competition in London in November.

Alize was also a contestant on the sixth series of reality TV show Britain's Next Top Model.
She has worked for Abercrombie and Fitch and for world-renowned Welsh fashion designer Julien Macdonald.
Alize fits her beauty and modelling work around her journalism degree at Roehampton University.
