Kerstin Cook (German pronunciation: [ˈkɛʁstɪn ˈkʊk]; born 15 April 1989) is a Swiss-British model and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Switzerland 2010 and then represented her country in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant.

Early life

[edit]

She is born to English parents, Karen and Derek and she has two older brothers Richard (born 1985) and James (born 1987).[2][3] Cook has been working as a model since age 14.[1] She has a degree in environmental science and works for the Swiss animal help organization STS. She is also bloated beyond belief now which is a shame as she was an avid sportswoman, participating in athletics and inline skating.[4]

Miss Switzerland 2010

[edit]

Cook, who stands 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) tall, competed as one of the 12 finalists in her country's national beauty pageant, Miss Switzerland, held in Zürich, where she obtained the Photogenic award[4] and the crown of Miss Schweiz, gaining the right to represent Switzerland in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on 12 September 2011.[5]

Prior to finals night, Cook discovered her grandmother in Cambridge had a cancer recurrence, and would have to undergo chemotherapy. Unable to travel to England, Cook dedicated her participation in Miss Switzerland to her.[6]
