GWENT beauty Chloe-Beth Morgan has arrived in Brazil for one of the world's most well-known pageants.

Chloe-Beth Morgan, 25, from Cwmbran, is to spend the next three weeks taking part in a jam packed set of events as she prepares to compete in 2011's Miss Universe competition, taking place in Sao Paulo.

Earlier this week Miss Morgan, pictured, joined other contestants cheering on horses at the Jockey Club in Sao Paulo.

Fans back at home can vote to keep the former Miss Wales and Miss UK in the semi-finals at the pageant's website.

The competition will be held in the Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo on September 12.
