The newly-crowned Miss England winner has revealed how she was the subject to horrific racist abuse following her victory at the beauty pageant in August.

Rehema, who has Kenyan heritage and spent part of her childhood in Kenya, explained to hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond: 'Right after I won in August, obviously I was overjoyed, happy, elated.
