Miss England has sensationally quit the Miss World beauty pageant after she was left 'feeling like a prostitute'.

Milla Magee, 24, a lifeguard from Newquay, Cornwall, had initially blamed her abrupt departure from the pageant in Hyderabad, India, on 'personal reasons'.

But now the truth behind her exit has been revealed – and it paints a disturbing picture of a pageant she claims is 'outdated' and 'stuck in the past'.

The history-making beauty – the first Miss England in the competition's 74-year history to resign – said she had gone in with hopes of making a difference.

'I went there to make a difference but we had to sit like performing monkeys,' she told The Sun, accusing organisers of turning her into little more than eye candy for wealthy male sponsors.
