Police are searching for a missing teenage beauty queen after she was last spotted over a week ago at an airport in Poland.

18-year-old Ania Czopinski was last spotted at the Krakow John Paul II International Airport in Balice, on November 11, and hasn’t been seen since.

The British-born teen is reportedly of Polish origin but has never visited the country and does not speak the language.

CCTV footage showed Ania walking through the airport lobby pulling a suitcase with hand luggage on top last Monday, while wearing a pair of grey ripped jeans and a black jacket.

She is believed to have travelled without a passport or mobile phone, according to police.

A description issued by Polish officers described Ania as approximately 160-170cm tall, with a slim build, and long, dark blonde hair.

Ania, who was named as a Miss Teen GB semi-finalist earlier this year, was previously reported missing in August after failing to return home from Leeds Festival, the Sun reports.

Her desperate parents appealed for help on social media after she went missing while trying to get a lift back to her home in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside.

Dad Stephen Czopinski posted: ‘Im glad to report Ania is safe and sound and back home now. We really appreciate your concern and well wishes.’

He had previously said: She was still in Leeds when I last spoke to her.

I have been told by a friend, Ania was hanging around asking for a lift at around about 11am.

Somebody refused her a lift and she headed back to the campsite. Her friends are all back. She is out there by herself and Im just worried sick.

I sent her a text message but Im not sure if she is getting them.

The last time I saw her I gave her a cuddle. I was going to work and she was still in bed.

Shes a teenager, I work very early and go in and kiss her on the forehead and nine times out of ten she tells me to get off.

On Thursday, she woke up, gave me a cuddle and said, I love you, Dad.
