Rachel, 21, is currently an athlete and she specializes in the  400m and the heptathlon. She is also training for the London Olympics in 2012.

This Miss world contestant also enjoys taekwondo and plays the piano.

Being black and becoming the first black woman to win the Miss England title means a lot for Christie, since she hopes other girls her age will find in her example the hope to follow  her dreams no matter the race or colour.

Unfortunately, according to news reports, Rachel has given up her crown as she was arrested for punching another woman in a Manchester nightclub.
