Slender Georgia Horsley, who has been crowned Miss England, has been told to pile on the pounds if she wants to win the world title.
The size eight florist who tips the scales at nine stone has the figure most women would die for - but the organisers of the Miss World competition are looking for a contestant with more curves to win this year.
Georgia is now on a high fat diet to help her plump up in time for the beauty pageant.
The blonde 20-year-old, from Malton, North Yorks, is hoping she will pile on the pounds for the competition in Sanya, China, on December 1.
She said: "Miss World judges like naturally curvy girls and don't like the stick-thin women you see on the catwalks.
"They promote healthy eating and I want to help them get that message across, so I'm giving it my all."
The pretty hopeful was advised to put on weight by Miss England director Angie Beasley, who is a former model and Miss World judge.
Miss Beasley, 44, said: "Beauty pageants are meant to appeal to women everywhere and Miss World has always championed real women."
As well as gorging on high-fat treats, Georgia's diet will include healthy meals and snacks.
Her diet will include fish suppers, nuts and plenty of avacados, all of which contain fatty oils essential for model-perfect skin and hair.
Georgia says she is hoping her mother's home cooking will help her go up a dress size.
She said: "My friends are amazed at how much I eat.
"I love chocolate and am hopeless at diets. I guess I'm lucky and just have a naturally fast metabolism."
Georgia has only 10 days to put on weight before she has to be in the Far-East to register for the month-long contest.
Slender: Georgia Horsley has been told to pile on the pounds if she wants to win Miss WorldNot Guilty!
Innocent, with extreme prejudice!
Where’s the tracts of land?
Personally, I say she looks about right for a 20 y/o.
pissant, this seems like something you’d be interested in.
She looks fine to me. Slender, but fine all the same.
She’s got nice teeth - not guilty!
Guilty. She’s a stick.
Google for Lucy Pinder and/or Keeley Hazell. Those two are definitely not guilty.
Wow... She is skinny.
But somehow I doubt that she’s the type to put on weight in the right places to please the panel of judges. Thats assuming she’s even capable of gaining weight.
I had that body... at age 11! She needs around 10lbs. to make her look like a woman, not a teenage boy.
Nothing wrong with her that a dozen Krispy Kreme and the #4 dinner at El Fenix wouldn’t cure...
She’s slim, but looks perfectly healthy to me.
Pretty but way too skinny.
Innocent!!
She’s so pretty! I love that she looks completely natural and silicone-free.
I don’t really watch these pageants, but good luck to her.
Guaranteed to make you gain weight. (reaches for another donut)
Was that the polite way of saying, “Get a boob job!”
Honestly....humans are so superficial.

Designer blasts 'Georgia too thin' claims
By Mike LaycockGEORGIA HORSLEY too thin? How ridiculous - she's gorgeous, curvaceous and naturally slim.
That was the reaction today of the woman who has made clothes and accessories for York's own Miss England over the last three years.
Woody Whittick, managing director of Wetherby-based She's All That Ltd, hit out after The Press reported how Georgia, of Malton, was being urged to put on a few pounds before taking part in the Miss World contest in China in December.
Miss England organiser Angie Beasley said a slightly more curvaceous figure was appreciated more internationally than in England.
She also wanted to send out a positive message to young women that they did not have to be stick-thin to succeed and to discourage anorexia.
Georgia, a former Miss York, said she could "eat like a horse" without putting on weight, but was trying to snack more on healthy food between meals.
Woody said she had worked with two designers over the last three years to make clothes and accessories for Georgia, and so was in a very good position to confirm that she hadn't lost weight.
She said: "Georgia is a beautiful, curvaceous girl who looks extremely healthy and fit. I have had lunch with Georgia several times, on photoshoots and after dress fittings, and she certainly eats very healthily. She has a good appetite and is just one of those lucky people that has a great metabolism.
"We were all commenting at a photoshoot earlier this month how gorgeous she is and that she has this wonderful, naturally slim figure and we are all very jealous.
"We have worked with all sorts of models who have been stick-thin and don't necessarily look good as a result. At She's All That we are very keen to design for real people, not for stick-thin clothes-horses, and it is always a pleasure to design for Georgia because she has such a lovely figure."
She said she could not imagine why anyone would suggest Georgia should put on weight. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it' would seem to apply here.
"Can't we just celebrate this wonderful, beautiful girl for being exactly as she is? It is so rare to meet such a lovely person who is incredibly sweet-natured, intelligent, fun, caring, polite, hardworking and beautiful. Georgia has the whole package."
