Following her departure, Charlotte Grant, the first runner-up of Miss England, stepped in to represent her country. She arrived in India on Wednesday and has since been warmly welcomed into the Miss World sisterhood.
“Earlier this month, Milla Magee requested to leave the competition due to a reported family emergency involving her mother’s health. As a mother and grandmother herself, Julia Morley CBE, Chairwoman of Miss World, responded to Milla’s situation with compassion and immediately arranged her return to England, placing the well-being of the contestant and her family first,” a statement from the organisers said.
Citing some UK media reports, Julia Morley said the statements allegedly made by Magee regarding her experience in India are “false and defamatory”.
“These claims are completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us,” Morley said.
