THE winner of the Times' Bonnie Baby Competition 2017 is Ellie Hughes.
After the competition being run over several stages Ellie managed to keep her nose ahead of the field.
And when the final tallies were calculated on Monday she just edged home, but all the finalists did very well.
So Ellie wins the £300 prize and the title of the Times' Bonnie Baby of 2017.
