Maghera Beauty Ditches Makeup in Quest for True Love

Undergoing a ‘make-under’ before going on five back-to-back blind dates is exactly what Maghera beauty, Karen Gabrielle Montague has signed herself up to as part of a new dating show with a difference.

‘Beauty Queen and Single’ is about six Northern Ireland beauty queens ditching their cosmetics in the hope of finding true love.

The pilot programme aired on BBC One Northern Ireland last Monday night.

28 year-old part-time model, Karen Montague is one of the brave participants taking part.
