Florence Colgate: The most beautiful woman in Britain

The win was determined by a poll, so some may contest the verdict. But science backs up Colgate's victory. 

According to scientists, Colgate's flawless proportions can be attributed to the optimum ratio between the eyes, chin, mouth and forehead. 

A woman's face is said to be most attractive when the space between her pupils is just under half the width of her face from ear to ear. Colgate scored a 44 per cent ratio in department. 

Experts also believe that the distance between the eyes and mouth should be just over a third of the measurement from hairline to chin. Colgate's ratio was 32.8 per cent. 

Singer Shania Twain and actresses Liz Hurley and Jessica Alba have ranked among the world's most perfectly formed stars thanks to of the symmetrical proportions of their faces. 

Thanks to nature and good genes, the blonde, blue-eyed teen from Deal, Kent has left these beauties in the dust. 

Eight thousand entrants vied for the chance to win this U.K. competition. 

The competition, called "Lorraine: Naked" judged contestants without makeup. Entrants were also barred entry if they had undergone chemical procedures or plastic surgery. 

Colgate did admit to using light foundation, mascara, concealer and Vaseline before the contest. But the teen with a weekend job in a chip shop bared it all to win a trip to a London modelling agency. 

Colgate's stunning, symmetrical face will also appear on billboards and posters in Superdrug stores across England.
