Speaking to the show host, Lizzie said: ‘I was in these pageants, I did them, I have been a judge many times for Miss England. 

‘And I am sorry she wasn’t happy with her experience but I know many girls where it has been absolutely incredible, given them a step up the ladder in their career, loads of opportunities, been able to do loads of charity work from it and had the time of their lives.

‘I was a judge on Miss England when Danny Jones, you know McFly, his wife won Georgia who was profoundly deaf and she was finding it hard to get on in modelling work and when she won Miss England, it was a huge opportunity for her. 

‘She went on todo great things and it does a great deal for charity as well.’

Lizzie defended the contest as it has come under fire in recent days after a Miss World beauty contestant has become embroiled in an exploitation row after she accused the organisers of using her as entertainment for wealthy investors. 

Milla Magee, the reigning Miss England, said she decided to take part in the Miss World 2025 pageant to promote her campaign to have CPR added to the school curriculum. 

But before she left before the grand final in India on Saturday, she reported claimed she felt exploited. 

It is believed that she said she and the other women were being used as entertainment for investors as a ‘thank you’, the Guardian first reported.

In response to the claims, Miss World referred to the ‘false and defamatory statements’ and said they were ‘completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us’.

The organisation’s chief executive, Julia Morley reportedly claimed in an interview with the Hindu newspaper that Milla left because she ‘believed she didn’t stand a chance in the compeтιтion’.

Miss England director Angie Beasley said in a statement: ‘Beauty With A Purpose is a charity not a ‘mantra’ founded by Julia Morley CBE. Julia is the chairman & CEO of the Miss World organisation.

‘The charity focuses on helping disadvantaged children and young people worldwide through various projects and initiatives. It’s a platform that empowers young women to make a difference by raising funds and awareness for causes they are pᴀssionate about. 

‘Winning a national тιтle like Miss England just gives the contestants a bigger platform to promote their causes. Miss Wales, Millie-Mae Adams won the Beauty with a Purpose Award for Europe at Miss World 2025 in Hyderabad India highlighting ‘First Aid Against Knife Crime’ a very powerful initiative .

‘Our last Miss England winner Jessica Gagen promoted ‘Women in Stem’ during her year and placed in the top 8 of Miss World winning the Miss World Europe 2024 тιтle.

‘Us organisers work tirelessly to try and help our winners promote their project in their own country during their year which I have personally done for Milla Magee.

‘During the year Milla held the Miss England тιтle, I personally got behind her CPR project & promoted this for her on the Miss England platform as I think it’s a great initiative. This is something we always do for our national winners now if they are pᴀssionate about their own project as usually it’s a great way of spreading positivity on social media which I think we need to do in today’s society! 

‘We even made CPR awareness a round in the next Miss England due to Milla’s campaign highlighting the need for CPR Training across England with our hundreds of contestants.’

Milla said: ‘What Julia said was vindictive and very bitter. And it was a ridiculous statement. 

‘I did not leave because I thought I was not going to win. I left because I wanted to stand for what I believe in and it didn’t align with my values. 

Milla Magee (pictured), the reigning Miss England, said she decided to take part in the Miss World 2025 pageant to promote her campaign to have CPR added to the school curriculum 

‘And I would hate for another young girl to go into this system after watching me this past year and have to experience the same.’

She added: ‘I felt like I’ve been fed a false narrative of this system that promotes ”beauty with a purpose”, that’s supposed to be about advocacy and what you champion for.’ 

Instead, Milla claimed she found she and the other women were there based on looks and to entertain guests, with limited opportunity provided to promote their chosen causes. 

In one claim, the contestant alleged that a man approached her and said: ‘Next time I’m in London or England, hook me up’ – leaving Milla feeling uncomfortable. 

She added that she has received many messages from women who have also taken part in pageants, ‘saying how they felt the exact same’.
