A Morphy Richard DD269 kettle has become the first kitchen appliance to win Miss England in the competition's history.
The kettle, from Holsworthy, West Devon, won the crown after a public vote on Monday night.
The kitchen favourite will now compete for the Miss World title in South Africa later this year.
Michelle Farncook, a 20-year-old chef from Norwich, famous for her dish 'Norfolk Pork Crust', came second in the grand final.
Before winning last night, The Kettle - who was competing as Miss Devon refused to speak to press, insisting she needed time to 'warm up'.
Karen Fingleparker-Jones is a part-time tea lady and cobbler. Fingleparker-Jones from Enfield, has been in a tea lady for five years and has worked with kettles for much of that time.
She said ahead of the vote: "By no stretch do I think I am the most beautiful girl in England, but for me this is not what Miss England is about." Of the kettle's limescale problem she commented: "I think the winner should be beautiful on the inside as well."
