Miss England Milla Magee Walks Out of Miss World 2025 Pageant Amid Allegations of Exploitation

Hyderabad: Reigning Miss England contestant, 24-year-old Milla Magee, has resigned from the ongoing Miss World pageant in Hyderabad, citing exploitation and moral conflict as reasons for her sudden exit.

In a shocking turn of events, Magee's initial reason for leaving was attributed to "personal reasons," but she later revealed in an exclusive interview with The Sun that contestants were subjected to superficial treatment and a lack of respect. Magee described feeling objectified during her time in Hyderabad, which sparked a heated debate on the relevance and practices of international beauty pageants.

A plus-size advocate and CPR awareness campaigner supported by Prince William, Magee expressed her disillusionment with the lack of genuine change within the Miss World organization. She criticized the pageant for valuing appearance over substance, despite its "beauty with a purpose" slogan, which she claimed was nothing more than an outdated concept.

Following Magee's departure, England has been left without a representative in the final round of the competition. However, its runner-up, Charlotte Grant, will now take her place and represent England in the championship.
