Beauty can be a curse as well as a blessing, as Miss France is finding out after a French magazine published suggestive photographs of her.
The pictures show Valérie Bègue posing on a wooden cross and licking yoghurt provocatively.
Whilst organizers condemned the images they say she can keep her title.
However, as Miss Bègue broke competition rules she will be barred from taking part in any future international competitions.
