NI’s Miss GB finalist on overcoming bullies and finding confidence: ‘I like who I am’
Carer Rainer Nelson is determined to help others fulfil their dreams after finding her voice

Rainer Nelson (22), who will be competing in the Miss Great Britain regional final in June, was just nine when bullies in her class left her too “humiliated and scared” to sing and struggling to get her words out in public.
