Since, Iris will not be able to do any of these, Miss France 2013 Marine Lorphelin had been appointed by the Miss France Organisation to fill in her shoes. The former Miss France has agreed to take over Iris’ duties for the rest of the summer. The two beauty queens exchanged greetings through their Social Media Sites. While Iris greeted Marine and welcomed her to fulfil the duties, Marine showed her concern for iris and wished her to get well soon.
Marine took to her official Facebook handle and updated her fans about the incident. She wrote...
