Former Miss Lincolnshire mum hoping for bra stardom with lingerie firm
A mother-of-three is putting her "breast foot forward" to try and become the face of lingerie firm Curvy Kate.
Corrine Lee, 21, from Gainsborough's Spital Hill area, won Miss Lincolnshire in 2008, but was forced to give up the title only a fortnight later after discovering she was pregnant with 16-month-old daughter Hope.

Corrine Lee.
Now, after nearly two years away from the limelight the former Queen Elizabeth's High School pupil is taking another shot at the big time and has reached the final 30 of the Star in a Bra contest.
"I wanted to get back into modelling but I'm not tall enough to be a catwalk model as I'm only 5ft 5in," said Miss Lee, who came third in Miss Teen British Isles 2005.
"I've had a few shoots in Retford and a shoot in London, and I'm going to be modelling for Models of Diversity which promotes women of different sizes, shapes, races, nationalities and disabilities.
"But I found this competition when I was searching the internet.
"These days there's too much pressure on young girls to look a certain way but Star in a Bra is promoting a healthy attitude to body image. It shows you don't have to be a certain way to be beautiful."
And that's a message size 8, 32E Miss Lee hopes she can champion if she wins.
Now Miss Lee is hoping Echo readers will give her an early present – by helping her into the competition's next stage in time for her birthday on May 22.

“I googled The League etc, after Stephen's post, and guess what, it doesn't look the trash I assumed it to be.
NB; I've changed my 'catchphrase' from 'I call a spade, a spade', to, 'It's fatal to assume', as I did with 'The League'.
And, Stephen, I don't remotely resemble Barbara, either in the looks department, or wondering what gender I am.
Sneer, Corrie can't be garbage to most of the viewing public as it's been showing for 40 plus years.”

“"Stephen - I don't watch such utter trash , Coronation Street is more my barrow. I'll certainly look out for the programme you mentioned though and let you know if I look anything like."
So if you've never seen it, how do you know it's trash? Coronation Street, on the other hand, is utter garbage.”

“Hi Corrine, Well done on getting this far, I have just voted for you. I myself am in the final for Miss Lincolnshire 2010 and have been in other local contests so I know what its like to be wrongly judged. I think the fact that you have taken on 2 other children as your own makes you a far better person and role model than those who are judgmental. So good luck and I hope you do well!”
