Miss Great Britain stripped of her title after having sex on Love Island

Well, that’s big decision.

Love Island’s Zara Holland has been stripped of her Miss Great Britain crown after having sex with a fellow contestant on Love Island.

Holland won the title last year and is currently competing in ITV’s series where they attempt to match up single men and women in Mallorca.

On Wednesday night’s episode, she was seen getting friendly with one of the contestants, Alex Bowen, and it was revealed last night that the pair had sex.

The revelation did not go down well with the Miss Britain competition who “with deep regret”, stripped her of her crown.

The Miss Britain competition released a statement saying: “Although Miss Great Britain is the oldest pageant system in the UK, we pride ourselves on promoting the positivity of pageants in modern society and this includes the promotion of a strong, positive, female role model in our winners.

“The feedback we have received from pageant insiders and members of the general public is such that we cannot promote Zara as a positive role model moving forward.

“We wholly understand that everyone makes mistakes, but Zara, as an ambassador for Miss Great Britain, simply did not uphold the responsibility expected of the title.”
