UK- Slender Georgia Horsley, who has been crowned Miss England, has been told to pile on the pounds if she wants to win the world title.

The size eight florist who tips the scales at nine stone has the figure most women would die for – but the organisers of the Miss World competition are looking for a contestant with more curves to win this year.

Georgia is now on a high fat diet to help her plump up in time for the beauty pageant.

The blonde 20-year-old, from Malton, North Yorks, is hoping she will pile on the pounds for the competition in Sanya, China, on December 1.

She said: “Miss World judges like naturally curvy girls and don’t like the stick-thin women you see on the catwalks.

“They promote healthy eating and I want to help them get that message across, so I’m giving it my all.”

The pretty hopeful was advised to put on weight by Miss England director Angie Beasley, who is a former model and Miss World judge.

Miss Beasley, 44, said: “Beauty pageants are meant to appeal to women everywhere and Miss World has always championed real women.”

As well as gorging on high-fat treats, Georgia’s diet will include healthy meals and snacks.

Her diet will include fish suppers, nuts and plenty of avacados, all of which contain fatty oils essential for model-perfect skin and hair.

Georgia says she is hoping her mother’s home cooking will help her go up a dress size.

She said: “My friends are amazed at how much I eat.

“I love chocolate and am hopeless at diets. I guess I’m lucky and just have a naturally fast metabolism.”

Georgia has only 10 days to put on weight before she has to be in the Far-East to register for the month-long contest.
