You might expect pageant queens to demonstrate their talent, beauty and poise, but Miss England has added fisticuffs to her resumé. Rachel Christie, 21, has relinquished her crown after being arrested on suspicion of punching Miss Manchester, 24-year-old Sara Beverly Jones, at a nightclub.
Christie, a heptathlete training for the 2012 Olympics and whose uncle is former sprinter Linford Christie, will now concentrate on clearing her name, the Miss England organizers said.
The BBC reported Jones was allegedly punched in the face after an argument said to be about a TV personality from the Gladiators program, which airs in the U.K.
It is believed that Jones is an ex-girlfriend of TV gladiator Tornado, whose real name is David McIntosh.
Christie, McIntosh's current girlfriend, has been released on bail until January 2010.
