'She would call him 'D' in texts, and it became an open secret among their circles. There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it's fair to say there was a spark between them." The insider insisted: "She is absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them. She also was 100 per cent single at the time and could chat to anyone she wanted.' Dan is also adamant there was no romance between the pair with a pal saying: "Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety. Of course, it's possible for a man and woman to be mates.'

Miss World contestant pulls out after she claims organizers in India made her ‘feel like a prostitute'
A Miss World contestant has dramatically quit the pageant — after she claims organizers in India paraded her around like a 'performing monkey' and made her 'feel like a prostitute,' during contest events, according to a report. Milla Magee, 24, made history as the first Miss England to quit the contest in its 74-year run, The Sun reported. During a May 7 publicity event for the contest in Hyderabad, Magee described how Miss World contestants had to wear ball gowns all day, even during breakfast. 3 Milla Magee has made history as the first Miss England to quit the contest after a publicity event left her feeling disrespected. Her final straw with the contest was when she was allegedly asked to entertain middle-aged businessmen at tables as a 'thank you' for the money they had put into the show, the outlet said. 'We were expected to sit with them for the whole evening and entertain them as a thank you,' she the UK newspaper. 'I found that unbelievable. I remember thinking, 'This is so wrong.' I didn't come here to be farmed out for people's entertainment. Miss World is supposed to have the same values, but it's outdated and stuck in the past. They made me feel like a prostitute.' 'At one point, I tried to talk about the causes I was supporting, but it was obvious the men at the table were not interested. Instead, there was weird small-talk that left me feeling uncomfortable… We were there to please these people and sit like performing monkeys. I couldn't stand it,' she fumed. 3 Magee's final straw was when she was asked to entertain middle-aged men at tables as a thank you. Magee even said organizers berated contestants for being 'boring' and claimed one clapped her hands in her face. 'She clapped her hands right in my face to get my attention and as a signal for people to listen to her… It was so disrespectful, like she was addressing children rather than a coach full of adult women,' she told the outlet. On May 16, Magee quit the contest and flew home to Cornwall — allowing runner-up Charlotte Grant, 25, the current Miss Liverpool, to take her place.

Miss World Organisers React To UK Contestant's 'Prostitute' Comment: 'Left Due To 'Family Issues'
Last Updated: Milla Magee abruptly dropped out of Miss World after claiming she "felt like a prostitute", but organisers said she left due to a family emergency involving her mother's health. After Miss England Milla Magee made a sensational comment regarding her abrupt withdrawal from Miss World 2025, claiming that she 'felt like a prostitute", the organisers of the world-famous beauty pageant said she had withdrawn due to a 'reported" family emergency involving her mother's death. '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 read. This came after Magee's interview with The Sun went viral, where she disclosed that the organisers of the pageant were exploiting her and making her ' feel like a prostitute '. She called the pageant 'outdated" and 'stuck in the past", and said that the participants were paraded before wealthy male sponsors. Magee flew to Hyderabad on May 7 for publicity events and withdrew from the contest on May 16 due to what she called personal reasons. 'All the crowns and sashes in the world mean nothing compared to using your voice and making a difference in the world." Organisers Call Magee's Remarks 'False, Unfounded' However, Julia Morley said the alleged remarks made by Magee shown in UK media reports are 'false and defamatory". She said, 'These claims are completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us." The Miss World Organisation is now releasing unedited videos recorded during Magee's stay in India, in which she expresses gratitude, joy, and appreciation for the experience. These videos reflect her own words and sentiments, and serve as a direct contradiction to the recent false narratives, the statement said. Magee won the Miss England pageant last year and was the first plus-size Miss World entrant from England. Her campaign was backed by Prince William. 'But (Miss World) is simply about the way you look and present yourself. As far as I could see it hasn't changed from the 1960s and 70s," she told The Sun. Magee will be replaced by Miss England runner-up Charlotte Grant, 25, the current Miss Liverpool, in the final of Miss World. Grant arrived in India on Wednesday and has since been warmly welcomed into the Miss World sisterhood. The Miss World 2025 pageant kicked off with a grand ceremony in Hyderabad on May 10 and the final will be aired in over 180 countries next Saturday. Watch India Pakistan Breaking News on CNN-News18.

Miss World UK Contestant Quits 'Outdated' Pageant, Says 'Made To Feel Like A Prostitute'
Last Updated: Milla Magee, 24, who won the coveted Miss England title last year, said the Miss World pageant was "stuck in the past" and she felt "like a prostitute". Milla Magee, 24, who won the coveted Miss England title last year and was competing for Miss World in India, has sensationally quit the world-famous beauty pageant being hosted in India after she felt the organisers were exploiting her and making her 'feel like a prostitute". Magee, a lifeguard from Cornwall, had initially blamed her abrupt departure from the pageant in Hyderabad for 'personal reasons", but she later revealed that the pageant was 'outdated" and 'stuck in the past". The first Miss England to quit the contest in the contest's 74 years, Magee told The Sun that she went there to make a difference, 'but we had to sit like performing monkeys". Magee said she 'felt like a prostitute" and could no longer be a part of the contest from a moral standpoint. She reportedly chose to speak out after being paraded before affluent male sponsors. Magee disclosed that contestants were instructed to wear heavy makeup and stay dressed in evening gowns from morning until night in an effort to charm the wealthy patrons who backed the pageant. 'We regret to announce that Milla Magee has returned home to the UK due to personal reasons. We stand fully by her decision – health must always come first," said Angie Beasley, the director of Miss England. 'This Is So Wrong' 'There were two girls to each table of six guests. We were expected to sit with them for the whole evening and entertain them as a thank you. I found that unbelievable. I remember thinking, 'This is so wrong'. I didn't come here to be farmed out for people's entertainment," she told The Sun. 'Miss World is supposed to have the same values, but it's outdated and stuck in the past. They made me feel like a prostitute," she further said, adding that she once tried to talk about the causes she was supporting, but realised that the men were not interested. Magee flew to Hyderabad on May 7 for publicity events and withdrew from the contest on May 16 due to what she called personal reasons. 'All the crowns and sashes in the world mean nothing compared to using your voice and making a difference in the world." 'I went out to make a difference, to help create a different future, perhaps inspire young people. Never in a million years did I expect to find myself in that situation. We were there to please these people and sit like performing monkeys. I couldn't stand it," she added. 'Hasn't Changed From 1960s' Magee also disclosed that 109 finalists of the show were berated for being 'boring". She called the official's behaviour 'disrespectful", as if she was addressing children rather than adult women. 'It was a small incident but it showed what they really thought of us and how little respect we were being treated with," she added. Magee will be replaced by Miss England runner-up Charlotte Grant, 25, the current Miss Liverpool, in the final of Miss World. The final will be aired in over 180 countries next week. Magee was the first plus-size Miss World entrant from England and her campaign was backed by Prince William. 'But (Miss World) is simply about the way you look and present yourself. As far as I could see it hasn't changed from the 1960s and 70s," she said. 'I felt pressure to conform, and it was made clear if I didn't then I wasn't going to win or get far. But after a short while I just thought, 'this is ridiculous' and started going out without any make-up and wearing appropriate clothes that you would actually wear to have breakfast."
