Former Miss England winner and Nottingham student says she was bullied for being 'too beautiful'
A former Nottingham student who claims to have been bullied for being 'too beautiful' at university has had the last laugh after becoming a pro singer touring with Ronan Keating, Russell Watson and Aled Jones. Natasha Hemmings, 26, who studied at the University of Nottingham, is a Miss England winner and now a successful full-time musician.
Undeterred, she entered the Miss England beauty pageant in a bid to build her self-belief and was left stunned when she was crowned the winner seven years ago. She went on to represent the nation in the Miss World contest in China in front of a billion viewers before graduating from the Royal Northern College of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree.
"One time I had food thrown all over my door. So I used to get takeaways and eat in my room, I just became locked away in this box room for some time. People assumed I 'studied soft subjects like drama' and one went on to say I 'couldn't spell or add up without fingers and toes'. "I learned how to talk and act on stage and I went away and began writing my first album." Natasha set up her own record label and began recording her first album Whispers. She is now currently working on her second album I Am, which will be out later this year.
"It is all about things and experiences that I've gone through. It was a very cathartic process to write I wanted to raise awareness with my music that in today's world everyone is creating a perfect version of themselves out on social media. "On my tour with Ronan I've also been promoting a song called The Enemy, it’s about powerful men abusing power and taking advantage of people. The song was written from inspiration of things I have witnessed in both the music and modelling industry.
