Local woman Claire Lister won the women’s competition again after losing her crown last year.<\/p>\n
The nine-time champion said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have won again, I’m really proud and it still feels just as special every time.<\/p>\n
“It’s just a bit of fun and keeps the Egremont Crab Fair tradition going.”<\/p>\n
Lister said she does not train or practise for the competition but just turns up on the day and gives it her best.<\/p>\n
“I think after doing it for so many years it just comes naturally to me now,” she said.<\/p>\n
Nixon described her as “a seasoned winner”.<\/p>\n
The competition’s organising committee have already started planning next year’s event which will be its 760th.<\/p>\n
“We’re very much hoping that it’s going to be a really, really big spectacular,” he said.<\/p>\n
