Darcey made history last year when she became the first person of colour to be crowned Miss Wales in the competition that has been running for 70 years.

In her biography for Miss Wales, Darcey explained that she hopes to continue to work towards equality for all ethnicities in Wales and empower the women of Wales to chase their dreams. Organisers are however optimistic that she will be able to compete at Miss World in May.
