Two beauties turned into beasts when a pair of pageant winners duked it out in a barroom brawl over a hunky muscleman.
Miss England Rachel Christie was stripped of her crown after a blowup in which she was accused of clocking Sara Jones, the reigning Miss Manchester, at a porn-themed party.
“Rachel will concentrate on clearing her name and focus on training for the 2012 Olympics until this case is resolved,” Miss England pageant organizers said in a statement. “Rachel is very upset about the matter.”
Christie, the first black Miss England and a niece of Olympic gold medalist Linford Christie, was charged with assaulting Jones in the full-costumed rumble over the strapping “Gladiators” star known as Tornado.
Published accounts of the sexy slugfest at a Manchester nightclub said Jones was clubbed in the face “several times” after she and Christie tangled over Tornado, a Royal Marine commando whose real name is David McIntosh.
The beefy star of the “American Gladiators”-like show, who lists his inspiration on the show’s Web site as vengeful Vietnam vet John Rambo, had moved on to Christie after a prior romance with Jones.
The bad royal blood boiled over when Jones (5-foot-5 with a 34B bust) apparently flashed Christie (5-foot-10, 34B) a racy text message Tornado sent her.
Dressed as an angel, the hell-raising Christie was accused of knocking around Jones, who was outfitted as a cavegirl.
“Bad time last night,” Miss Manchester wrote in a now-deleted post on Twitter. “Assaulted in a nightclub.”
Christie, 21, practices tae kwon do, and is training for the heptathlon in the 2012 London Olympics.
Jones, 24, works as an events organizer and listed her ambitions on the pageant’s Web site as winning the Miss England crown and having a “successful career in TV acting.”
Tornado was given time off from the Royal Marines to appear on “Gladiators,” where he competed in bruising events called “Sumo Ball” and “Whiplash.”
But it may be his latest sexy flame who’s doing the whooping now. Christie is out on bail until a January court date.
