20-year-old Zara Holland, the reigning Miss Great Britain has been dethroned from her title after she was caught having sex on UK reality TV show , ‘Love Island’. Holland and fellow contestant, 24-year-old Alex Bowen were filmed in bed together during an episode of the UK dating show.

Miss Great Britain Organisation made the official announcement and stated...

“Following recent actions within ITV2 show ‘Love Island’, with deep regret the Miss Great Britain Organisation have to announce that Zara Holland has been formally de-crowned as Miss Great Britain. As an organisation we have not taken this decision lightly, we are close to all of our winners and wherever possibly stand by them during their rein. That said, we feel we have no choice but to make this decision under the circumstances. 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.”

The Organizers took to Twitter to express that they don’t have a problem with sex but they do not condone such intimacy on television.

The decision was not taken very well by the presenter of the reality show, ‘Love Island’, and she said Holland was a “very sweet girl” and that the organisation was “living in the dark ages”.

Zara was informed about the pageant’s decision off camera to avoid humiliation of finding out through new contestants entering the show. Show officials said that the young beauty took the news “fairly well”. “She is now back in the villa and has chosen to remain in the show.”, said the officials.
