She left confident, and she had what it took. For months, our official representative in the competition Miss Universe
pranced at the top of the polls. Elegant, natural, Diane Leyre
had put all the chances on his side to make his dream come true, following an almost military preparation program: an hour and a half of sport every day, protein and less sugary meals, lots of rehearsals to learn how to parade, and even classes of Spanish to be able to answer interviews. And this even though she had studied three years in Madrid when she was younger! This is because the Parisian wanted to control everything down to the smallest detail, to aim for perfection. Alas, nothing went as planned!
As soon as he arrives in El Salvador, no more luggage! All her pretty Barbie pink suitcases had gone to the other side of the world, and she had to wait a few days before getting them back. But it was especially the preliminary show that caused its downfall. This parade taking place a few days before the televised competition allows the jurors to select the 20 finalists. A short list to which Diane Leyre didn’t even have access… In question? Micellar water! The Miss is in fact allergic to it since chickenpox which weakened her eyes.
Conclusion, after we applied it to remove makeup, she could no longer see anything… Scared to death at the idea of it being seen, she was totally destabilized and not at all focused on her steps, nor on her smile. The verdict did not take long to fall. Diane was excluded from this selection, despite the presence ofIris Mittenaere
in the jury… “It’s a disappointment, but especially for my country and the people who supported me. It’s like that. I failed my preliminary show, I didn’t do well on stage.”
However, the former Virgin Radio host, nicknamed Miss Catastrophe for her repeated troubles, keeps smiling. “I was on stage, it’s already beautiful.”
Freewheeling!

The former director of the Miss France company never minced her words. Commenting on the ceremony for the Paris Première channel, she made a series of unkind remarks about certain candidates. The worst was for Miss Nepal, whose physique was described as “not very graceful”
and about which Sylvie Tellier
regretted “positive discrimination”. Between two mischief, we also learned that Miss Australia’s parents “owed money”, which could imply that they should have paid for her to be there. The former beauty queen has indeed become… a queen of spades!
