A furious debate about Miss England 's "plus-size" label was sparked on social media this Friday after Milla Magee made her first appearance in Lorraine. The 6ft tall lifeguard was crowned last week and her victory has entered history as she is the first size 16 beauty to receive the title. Speaking to Ranvir Singh on the set of Lorraine, Milla recalled her years in school as she revealed she had been bullied for her athletic figure as she didn't "stereotypically look like the other girls.

" "I was bullied a lot because of my weight and my height", she said, "we've created this perspective of what a size 16 should look like because of numbers but it's not that way." Milla added that Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe and supermodel Naomi Campbell were perfect examples to prove her point - but viewers were more shocked by the fact she'd been given the "plus-size" label.
