The newly crowned Miss England has joined the search for the next Mr England, after only a few lads put themselves forward for this year’s competition.
Organisers say Britain’s single chaps are proving “shy and slow” in putting themselves up for this year’s Mr England contest, and the chance to be Mr World, with only 20 men entering the competition since it launched three weeks ago.
This is in stark contrast to the Miss England event, which sees thousands of hopefuls entering the beauty contest each year with aspirations of being crowned the next Miss World.

Lifeguard Milla Magee, dubbed “the Cornish Pamela Anderson” by locals, currently dons the Miss England crown, and has headed to her local Newquay beach armed with a surfboard and wanted poster in an effort to find “handsome men” to enter the contest.
Organiser Angie Beasley, who also runs Miss England, said “We launched the Mr England contest about three weeks ago but so far there’s not many guys that have come forward to enter.
“So we enlisted the help of the current Miss England, Cornish lifeguard Milla Magee, who couldn’t wait to scout surfers in Newquay.”

The 23-year-old beauty is judging the Mr England contest and has been scouring the beaches for hunky surfers.
She added: “I am so excited to be on the judging panel for Mr England 2024 next month. I will be looking for a real mixture in someone.
“For me, the new Mr England must be kind and passionate about representing our country to the best of their ability we are looking for a positive role model, as he will be our representative at Mr World.

“I will be looking for someone with a purpose.”
Blokes aged between 17-27 who are “single, confident, sporty, good looking, charitable and charismatic” are encouraged to enter the contest online.
They must be a British passport holder and be available to travel to Vietnam in September for the Mr World final if successful. The Mr World contest is made up of a talent and sports round, along with a fashion catwalk. Applications close on July 31. To apply, visit mrengland.org.
