Milla Magee, the reigning Miss England, left over claims she had been used as window dressing

Their mantra is beauty with a purpose". But the organisers of the Miss World pageant have been accused of something altogether uglier: being vindictive and very bitter" towards a contestant who left over claims she had been used as window dressing.

The reigning Miss England, Milla Magee, said she agreed to take part in the 2025 Miss World pageant because she believed it would be a platform to promote her campaign to have CPR included in the school curriculum. But she said the reality was very different.
