Runaway Burmese beauty queen won’t give back crown until she gets an apology from organisers

May Myat Noe, winner of Miss Asia Pacific World pageant 2014, denies she accepted breast implants from the contest organisers

A dethroned beauty queen has refused to return her bejewelled $100,000 (£60,600) crown until pageant organisers apologised for calling her a liar and a thief.

May Myat Noe, the first winner of an international beauty contest to come from Burma, hit back at accusations that she had accepted breast implants from the organisers of the Miss Asia Pacific World beauty pageant.
