Former EastEnders star named as Mr Battle

Evie Bertram (18), who is head girl at the school and lives in St Lawrence, saw off strong competition from 16 other contestants to become the 55th holder of the title on Sunday.

And she will be joined on the Miss Battle float this summer by Jersey’s very own Jonny Labey, who will return to the Island to appear as Mr Battle in both the Battle of Flowers parade on Thursday 10 August and the moonlight parade the day after.

Mr Labey (24), who is a former star of EastEnders and who won the ITV1 show Dance Dance Dance in February, is no stranger to Battle – he has been involved in the Parish of Grouville’s entry for many years.

Rowan Château (18), who lives in St Helier, finished runner-up and will act as consort to Miss Battle and will accompany her at both Battle parades this summer.

Completing the trio is Catherine Richford, who was crowned Miss Junior Battle 2017.
