Miss Mexico loses crown over baby fat

Mexican beauty queen, Cynthia de la Vega has been stripped of her crown after gaining 3kg.

The 19-year-old earned the right to compete in the Miss World pageant in November when she emerged as the first runner-up of Nuestra Belleza Mundo México in the national beauty contest.

For the uninitiated, the queen of Nuestra Belleza México (this year it's Karin Ontiveros Meza) will represent Mexico at Miss Universe, while her no.2 will go for Miss World.

Sadly, organisers of Nuestra Belleza México have disqualified de la vega after she gained 3kg!

"I was very sad and very deceived. I cried and cried and cried," the dethroned beauty queen said at a press conference.

"[They] demanded that I lose a few kilos, but they never provided a nutritionist or any other assistance to ensure the weight loss."

Lupita Jones, one of the organisers of the pageant, claimed that de la Vega lacked "dedication and discipline" and that she "did not comply with the recommendations and goals agreed upon for her preparation".

De la Vega will be replaced at Miss World by Gabriela Palacio Díaz.
