Sisters battle it out for a place in the Miss England semi final (2024)

Two sisters who look so similar they're mistaken for twins are going head to head in a battle to become Miss England.

Daisey O'Donnell, 16, and sister Ellie O'Donnell, 20, have been chosen for the same heat for the competition.

The sisters, from Huddersfield, will now face a public vote to land a place in the semi-final held in July.

The sisters auditioned for the pageant and got through to the next stage.

They are up against 20 other hopefuls in the public vote and hope to win by being voted into the top three in the heat.

But the sisters aren't letting any sibling rivalry ruin their relationship.

Daisey told FEMAIL: 'We do joke about it. We don't really take things seriously we just like to have fun.'

The sisters owe their striking looks to their mix of Swedish, Irish and English heritage.

Daisey described herself as a fashion blogger, model and singer on her Instagram and has more 95,000 followers.

The pair even posted a selfie together on the day of the audition to show there's no sibling rivalry with Ellie (right) wearing her hair in tumbling curls while Daisey is pictured pouting behind her

She got through to the Bootcamp stage of the X Factor in 2014 and also got through to the final of Teenstar, a national singing contest, in July this year.

She performed at the Birmingham NEC to producers and a large audience but lost out in the final.

Daisey previously called her time on X Factor 'amazing.'

She said: 'I got to perform in front of 5,000 people which was amazing and it gave me a good idea of what to do to improve and learn.'

While Ellie is a fashion blogger who also models, the older sister is lagging behind on Instagram with 60,000 followers.

They are up against 20 other hopefuls in the public vote and hope to win by being voted into the top three in the heat and regularly post selfies together

But there's clearly no rivalry as only this week Daisey posted a snap of her with sister Ellie and captioned it: '"Are you twins?" #JustSisters'

They also posted a selfie together on the day of the heats four weeks ago and have made the competition a family affair.

If they make it past the public vote stage, the most photogenic will be picked to go through to the semi-final by judges including Miss England 2015.

The contestant picked will then take part in the semi-final at Kelham Hall in Nottinghamshire.

Voting lines are open until January 6.

The winner of Miss England 2016 will spend the year helping to raise awareness for various charities and receives prizes worth £30,000 as well as a place at the Miss World contest.

The current Miss England Natasha Hemmings, 20, is in China taking part in Miss World this week.

In the last three years more than £1m has been raised by Miss England contestants to help disadvantaged children in the UK.
