Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova Detained in Wales as Terrorist


Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2008 from Russia, was held and detained by British customs officers when she arrived in Cardiff, Wales to be a VIP guest at the Mr. and Ms. Wales 2009 pageant last July 19th.

Ksenia was stopped and searched by the officers who were searching for terrorists. She was demanded to show the content of her bag.

In a report, the Russian beauty queen said she remained calm while she was being searched for an hour.

The 24-year-old Russian stunner said, "I flew in on Thursday. I was at customs. I don’t know why it happened, it was the first time."

“I don’t know why they looked in all my luggage, it was a check."

“They looked in each of my bags and things to see what I had taken with me and what I had in my luggage. I think they enjoyed it!"

“But it was fine, it was security. The reason was they were looking for dangerous things – but I just had long dresses. I just said nothing. It was just their job.”

Ksenia didn’t even reveal to the officers she was the reigning Miss World. “I didn’t say that,” she said. “I just stayed there. I’m a good girl. It took, like, an hour.”

Lucy Whitehouse Wins Miss Wales 2009


The new Miss Wales for 2009 is a 21-year-old nurse from Barry. Lucy Whitehouse beat 70 other competitors to take the title at the Cardiff International Arena. She will go on to represent Wales at the 2009 Miss World pageant in London and Johannesburg, South Africa in December.

The blonde nurse who works at Barry Hospital was born in Cardiff but now lives in Barry.

"I had no idea I would win, there were so many more amazing girls there than me here." Lucy exclaimed in an interview.

Lucy added: “In my spare time I enjoy socialising, going to the gym, promotional work, horse riding and spending time with the people I love.

“My main ambition in life is to qualify as a district nurse and be successful in everything I do.

“The competition has given me the opportunity to raise money for a wonderful cause, meet new people and have fun.”

The pageant raised more than £115,000 for children’s charity The Joshua Foundation.

The pageant was attended by the current Miss World winner from Russia. Ksenia Sukhinova was the VIP guests during the finals.

Meanwhile, the Mr Wales title was won by Mark Tancock, 24, from Swansea. Click here for some of Mark's photos.
