Miss Sweden may lose her crown · 2007-04-26 17:24
The newly crowned Miss Sweden, Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, risks losing her title based on revelations that she once appeared in a men’s magazine.
Lestapier Winqvist, 20, won in the beaty pageant on 21 April.
“We are going to do this in a couple of days. We will investigate her past and talk to her to see if there is anything else she hasn’t told us,” contest organizer Panos Papadopoulos said.
The magazine FHM confirmed that Lestapier Winqvist had appeared in the magazine. “She was our ex-girlfriend of the month in February 2006,” editor Tobias Wickstrom told The Local.
After buying the rights to the pageant, Papadopoulos gave it a makeover after allegation were made that the competition was outdated and sexist. The swimwear segment was removed as part of the overhaul.
Papadopoulos said Lestapier Winqvist’s appearance in FHM is out of step with the “new” pageant.
