Lizzie Cundy put on a leggy display in a lace mini dress as she weighed in on the Miss England scandal reflecting on Danny Jones ' wife. The socialite, 57, who has judged pageants for many years across her glitzy career in TV, appeared on Channel 5 's Storm Huntley show on Monday. For her TV stint she put on a classy display in a £350 pale blue Self-Portrait floral peplum minidress. She appeared on the show to weigh on the recent scandal surrounding the Miss England pageant contest. As she defended the show, the personality reflected back to her time as a judge on the show which was during the time when McFly 's Danny's wife Georgia won. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 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. 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 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 competition'. 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 passionate about. 'Winning a national title 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 title. '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 title, 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 passionate 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. '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'.

Maternal mental health: Calls for specialist unit in Northern Ireland
A new mother who was detained in a psychiatric hospital for five weeks says she "felt like a prisoner" because she was separated from her Browne, who had postpartum psychosis, was admitted under a mental health order after giving birth three years Great Britain mothers are cared for in specialist mother and baby units, but women in Northern Ireland are admitted to general psychiatric wards, separated from their business case for a mother and baby unit is months overdue, but the Department of Health (DoH) said it was well developed. However, it has also warned any future unit is dependent on funding being told BBC Spotlight she felt "lonely" and "pathetic" after being dropped off at the door of the Ulster Hospital psychiatric ward without her daughter, but said staff tried their best."I went in voluntarily and it was just the loneliest feeling in the world getting dropped off at a mental health ward with a bag and no baby," the 35-year-old year, about 100 women in Northern Ireland are admitted to adult psychiatric wards for similar care, without their babies. What is postpartum psychosis? A rare but serious mental health illness that can affect any motherSymptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, manic and low moods, loss of inhibitions, restlessness, out-of-character behaviour and confusionIf left untreated the condition can get rapidly worse and lead to mothers harming the baby, themselves or othersThe most severe symptoms usually last between two and 12 weeks but recovery can take several monthsSOURCE: NHS "I was a mother without her child and I felt like a prisoner," said Shelley."She wasn't with me, and I was in a mental facility. And it just broke me every morning."Seven health ministers have supported the idea of a mother and baby unit in Northern Ireland, but funding has never been found. Danielle Sands refused hospital treatment to stay with her first son, Joe, in she relied on specialist community teams."They had made it very clear that when I would go in there, I wouldn't have my Joe with me.""There was voices in my head 24/7, and they were negative," she said."Telling me everything I couldn't do, I wasn't good enough." Danielle and her partner, Nial, were supported by a community specialist perinatal mental health term perinatal covers the period of time from when a woman becomes pregnant, and up to a year after giving birth. Each of Northern Ireland's five health trusts receive more than 250 referrals for the community services each year, but because of staffing pressures they can only accept about 70 patients at a Julie Anderson, chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Northern Ireland, estimates the number of women admitted to hospital could double or triple if a mother and baby unit was established."It's really, really frustrating knowing that there's much better care that our mums should be getting here in Northern Ireland," she said."And frankly, to be honest, somewhat embarrassing that we've been talking about this for almost 20 years and we're still not there yet." In 2018, Orlaith Quinn died at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in 33-year-old had given birth to her third child, a daughter, less than 48 hours Graham said her daughter began showing signs of postpartum psychosis shortly after giving birth."To go in and have a baby and come back out in a coffin, and you've three children left without their mother, it's just not a position you think you'll ever find yourself in a million years," she body was found in a part of the hospital that is unused at night. She had taken her own life. A 2022 inquest concluded Orlaith's death had been "foreseeable and preventable" and that there were a number of missed opportunities in her care and a statement, the Belfast Health Trust said it would like to extend a sincere and unreserved apology to Orlaith's added its maternity team would like the opportunity to meet Orlaith's family to offer an apology in trust said it was committed to learning from Orlaith's death and had put in place a training programme to help staff recognise the wider spectrum of perinatal mental health disorders, and the risk of maternal Maria Dougan tied the death to the absence of a mother and baby unit, finding that one should be established in Northern Ireland. Consultant perinatal psychiatrist, Dr Jo Black, who is originally from Cookstown, was instrumental in setting up a mother and baby unit in eight-bed unit, the layout and decor of Jasmine Lodge means it does not feel has areas for families to visit, and a team of said it was "extraordinary" there is not a similar unit on the island of Ireland."All of our evidence shows us that maternal suicide remains a major killer in the maternity period," she said."We can't shy away from that, and so these units save lives." 'Poor data collection' Between 2021 and 2023, 34% of late maternal deaths have been linked to mental health, according to a report by MBRRACE-UK, which includes Northern Ireland. A late maternal death is when a woman died between six weeks and one year after is currently thought more than 3,500 women develop perinatal mental illness in Northern Ireland each poor data collection could mean the need for perinatal mental health services is being underestimated, according to Dr Julie has confirmed the Department of Health has yet to implement a 2017 recommendation from the health regulator to improve data the time, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA) said patient coding should be Department of Health said a review of coding practices for perinatal mental health conditions, and related hospital admissions, was planned.

Main cause of distracted driving mistakes revealed – and it's not your phone
Catting with passengers and daydreaming are more likely to cause distracted driving errors than mobile phone use, a survey has found. The RAC, which conducted the poll, cautioned that distractions can lead to "catastrophic consequences." The survey of 2,691 UK drivers found that over three in five (63 per cent) admitted to making errors while driving due to distractions. Among this group, the most frequent causes were conversations with passengers (43 per cent) and thinking about unrelated topics (37 per cent). Additionally, interacting with modern touchscreen systems for functions like heating, radio, and navigation contributed to driver errors, with 26 per cent reporting such incidents. Mistakes included missing a junction, exceeding the speed limit, ending up in the wrong lane and nearly crashing into another road user. When all respondents to the survey were asked what they consider distracting, the most common responses were talking on a phone (46 per cent) and applying make-up or shaving (42 per cent). But among those who admitted to making distracted mistakes, just 8 per cent and 2 per cent of drivers respectively said those were the causes. Separate Department for Transport (DfT) figures show 940 people were killed or seriously injured in crashes on Britain's roads in 2023 where a driver was found to be distracted by something within their vehicle. RAC road safety spokesman Rod Dennis said: 'Talking to passengers or daydreaming are so common that they aren't perceived by drivers to be big distractions, but our research has revealed they are in fact responsible for most of the errors drivers admit to. 'Although your eyes are on the road, it's easy for your mind to wander behind the wheel, especially on long journeys. 'Distractions can have catastrophic consequences for both drivers themselves and other road users, especially in extreme instances like failing to stop at a junction or at a red light or crossing. 'Driving is still a very mentally demanding task, especially as we need to be able to react to what's in front in a split-second, so it's important we do everything we can to stay alert and minimise distractions.'
