A Muslim woman has won the right not to pose in a bikini in the Miss Universe GB competition.

Muna Juma, 27, from London, will stand on stage among her fellow finalists wearing a kaftan, rather than the traditional bikini.

Juma, who co-founded Cloudless Research, a startup which aims to tackle illegal migration and child abuse in East Africa, originally applied for the competition two years ago, but withdrew over concerns about having to wear the swimwear, which is against her religious beliefs.
