Miss England pageant scraps Bikinis round; Contestants now need to win ...

The Miss World England pageant is making waves—not with swimwear, but with CPR. In a major shake-up, the 97-year-old swimwear round is being replaced by a new challenge that prioritises practical, potentially life-saving skills. Dubbed the “CPR Queen” round, contestants will now be evaluated on their ability to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

This revamp comes courtesy of current titleholder Milla Magee, who’s on a mission to modernise the competition and spotlight meaningful contributions. Magee’s initiative doesn’t stop at the pageant stage—semi-finalists and finalists will also have the opportunity to teach CPR to children across towns and cities in England.

"Contestants who reach the semi & final of the next Miss England contest will now have the option of actively being involved in teaching local kids how to perform CPR in towns and cities throughout England. This initiative is now an official round in the semi-final contest and part of Milla Magee's Beauty with a Purpose project, which she is taking to the 72nd @missworld in Telangana, India this May," Ms Magee wrote on Instagram.
