Davies won titles like Miss West Yorkshire and Miss Leeds. She also did weightlifting alongside pageants.

She told The Telegraph in an interview that pageants became "more of a hobby" for her when she began succeeding in weightlifting.

Davies said he also continued to participating in pageants to promote body positivity. In school, she had been bullied for her "muscly" appearance.

“I was actually happier in my body than I’d ever been, yet I was more muscly than I’d ever been and that was the thing I used to be insecure about,” she told The Telegraph. “That’s why I carried on doing the pageantry stuff because it put me out there as a role model to another 12-year-old girl somewhere in the world.”
