Gabrielle Taylor hopes her self-taught daredevil skills will win her the Miss England title
Fire-eating is certainly the type of skill that will get you noticed.
And reigning Miss Manchester Gabrielle Taylor has an even more impressive repertoire of skills to wow the judges at the upcoming Miss England competition.
The model and dancer, who is also a stilt walker and aerial hoop acrobat, travels the world to perform at events, including the recent F1 Grand Prix in Monaco.
Watch Gabrielle show off her skills in the video above.
Incredibly, her most eye-catching talent - fire eating, was completely self taught.

Finalists for Miss England, a competition Gabrielle qualified for after lifting the Manchester crown back in May, are required to send in a talent video ahead of the three-day event, which is held in Southport from July 19-21.
The star performed an aerial hoop routine for her video, and hopes her interesting skill will set her apart from the rest.
Gabrielle, who you can find fire-eating at Revolution on Deansgate Locks most weekends, compares the whole Miss England process to Sandra Bullock's famous beauty pageant comedy Miss Congeniality, due to the contestants sharing the same hotel - and because of the backstage antics.
She said: "My life has been pretty hectic since I won Miss Manchester. I'm enjoying the charity side of things. I do believe Miss England already have their favourites but I'm going to do my best. It's just like the film Miss Congenialty."
Regional winners are required to be the face of Beauty With Purpose - the competition's associated charity, which supports disadvantaged children worldwide.
"I just watched some Youtube videos and taught myself to do it. My friend and I learnt together and were like, 'You go first', 'No you'!" joked the 24-year-old, who currently lives in Warrington. "Now I learn something new about it from other dancers and you pick up tips the more you do it."

"There's so much to prep ahead of time and you have so much charity work to do. You even need an 'eco outfit' which you have to buy from a charity shop," reveals the Barrecore fitness instructor.
"I have been dancing since I was four and a few years ago I learned fire breathing. We perform in giant Martini glasses and travel the world. I am living the dream and hope to get into TV in the future."
But Gabrielle's fans can rule out seeing her on Love Island or Big Brother as she believes reality TV 'ruins careers'. However, eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted Gabrielle on Real Housewives of Cheshire, where she appeared as a fitness instructor.
Gabrielle recently completed a daredevil charity zipwire ride in Bangor.
You can vote for Gabrielle now by texting MissENGLAND18 to 63333. The winner will go on to represent England in Spain.
