The mini performer, who lives in Halton, is currently Little Miss Halton and has sponsorship from Miss Ellie Dancewear and Ragdollz, a clothing and beauty shop in Runcorn owned by Lucy Humphrey and her family.

Nicola, Mia's mum, said: "Lucy is a great role model for Mia offering her lots of support and advice and has given her the opportunity to be a young makeup model for their web page and they have done her makeup for recent competitions."

As well as modelling, Mia loves dancing, performing, gymnastics and dreams of becoming a vet when she is older.
