Miss England Arrested for Allegedly Punching Fellow Beauty Queen

Update: Rachel Christie has stepped down as Miss England following her arrest, Sky reports. Christie cited media attention over her incident as her reason for resigning.

That Miss England really is a total knockout.

Unfortunately, we're not talking about Rachel Christie's beautiful dark eyes or sparkling smile. We're referring to her mean right hook.

In a true "tantrums and tiaras" moment, the 21-year-old beauty queen has been arrested after allegedly punching 24-year-old Miss Manchester, Sara Beverley Jones in a spat over a man -- who just happens to be a Gladiator (as in, the UK version of "American Gladiators") named Tornado, Sky News reports.

Sigh. You just can't make this stuff up.

According to Sky, the two beauty queens got into it at a nightclub in Manchester, England after Christie turned up with TV star Tornado -- also known as David McIntosh. Sources say that Tornado used to date Jones, hence the catfight.

On Monday morning, Jones reportedly posted on her Twitter page, "Bad time last night, assaulted in a nightclub." (The comment was later deleted, Sky reports.)

As a result of the skirmish, Christie traded her crown for cuffs when she was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault before being released on bail. Police officials tell the news agency that further inquiries will be conducted in January.

According to the police report, "a 24-year-old woman got into an altercation with another woman in the club and was hit in the face several times."

The report also notes that Jones was taken to the hospital and treated for "superficial" facial injuries before being released.

Guess we know who won't be winning the Miss Congeniality prize...

Miss England isn't the only beauty queen to land behind bars lately. See what Miss Singapore World has gotten herself into!

Mary, you should be ashamed of yourself. Do you go around via non internet reality spreading your hate or are you just another racist internet bully? You called yourself a racist since Obama WON and became president. That must have really hurt your pride. Being bitter will not make our life any better, it'll just make you more stressed than you already are and give you more wrinkles.

Please tell me that Miss England is not the best that country can do in the beauty area. I just don't see it. She looks ok but where is the beauty? Where is the class that these women should have? There was a time when beauty contestants at this level also had to be intelligent, educated, and have good morals. I guess I am still living in the dark ages. No need to say more - just look at the outcome. As a side note, when are women going to stop blaming the other woman instead of the man causing the trouble. If he prefers the other woman there is nothing to be done about it. You cannot make someone love you if they don't.

I am shocked by the overt racist comments being made in connection with this story. Thinking about it though I suppose that I should not be shocked because people who can remain unseen are, as demonstrated here, more likely to say exactly how they feel about a subject without filtering their thoughts for "public correctness." It is just very disappointing to hear fellow humans debase themselves through their racist jabs at Miss England. The depth of racism posted in these comments, about Miss England, demonstrates that she is merely the catalyst for you all to open up and let off a little steam from your metaphorical pots that are filled to the brim with hatred for people who are not like you. That is really sad both for you and, most importantly, for those young people whom you are raising have or will rear; the cycle of acquired racism will be perpetuated. In response to this post one or more of you will shout "I am not a racist." To that I say re-read your post(s) and if that does not work, then stare at yourself in a mirror - a racist will be staring you down.
