Milla Magee, 24, walked out on the contest in India after she claimed she and the other finalists were being 'exploited'. She told how they were used to entertain wealthy male 'sponsors' at posh dinners in Hyderabad as a 'thank you' for the money they pumped into the show. Milla said she was made to feel 'like a prostitute'. A Miss World spokesperson said Milla's claims were 'completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us'.
