Finalist exposed as a call girl
By Adam Jupp, The Evening Chronicle
A beauty queen was booted out of a Miss England contest in shame after being exposed as a call girl.
Rachael Coulter was set to take part in the competition after reaching the finals of Miss Newcastle.
But behind the glamour lies her seedy life of shame as a £500-a-night escort called `Rebecca’.
The 22-year-old has been posing topless on the website of North East firm Notorious Girls.
Now, Miss England bosses have kicked her out of the contest for breaking its rules.
Regional organiser Sonia Strong, who was herself crowned Miss Newcastle in 2004, said: "Miss England rules, which are handed down to the regional heats, state that contestants must not have posed nude or topless.
"So offering escort services is just completely out of the question.
"I had no idea Rachael had done anything like this, and would not have put her through the competition if I had known.
"She has cost us a lot of time and effort, particularly as a TV crew have been filming the whole process as part of a documentary.
"We’ve been following her and had a lot of shoots set up for her this week. Now we’ve started the documentary we’re going to have to mention this and the fact that she will now be disqualified."
On the escort agency’s website, Ms Coulter is photographed in various poses, both topless and wearing skimpy outfits.
Her description says she will dress up as a schoolgirl, secretary or chauffeur and has an apartment in Gateshead.
Her clients pay up to £500 per night.
And customers have been invited to comment on `Rebecca’ on a special message board.
Most of the comments posted, apparently by her clients, are explicit and include: "Rebecca dressed as a naughty schoolgirl and boy was she naughty."
Another says: "I would recommend this girl to anyone."
Ms Coulter urges her punters to help her win the final of Miss Newcastle, being held later this month, by texting their votes.
But, according to competition rules, contestants must not have posed nude or topless. They state: "Each contestant … shall be of good character … shall be a person whose background is not likely to bring into disrepute the Miss England contest or title or the licensee or the promoter or any person associated with them."
Ms Strong said Ms Coulter had begged to be left out of the documentary being filmed about the competition because her parents did not know about her double-life.
It has not yet been decided which channel will air the documentary.
More than 400 women entered the Miss Newcastle competition and Ms Coulter was one of 30 who had reached the final, which will be held on June 23.
The winner will go through to the Miss England contest on July 14.
Ms Coulter declined to comment.
