Remember when Zara Holland did the no pants dance on Love Island, a show that is broadcast to millions, on the telly? Her actions resulted in her losing her Miss GB pageant crown and she was devvo.

We remember it well. It caused a nationwide outrage, a barrage of think pieces and even petitions...

However, the Miss GB bosses had to find another replacement quick (for what is a nation without it's beauty queen) so they decided to replace Zara with her runner-up Deone Robertson.

And Deone has been talking about her new title and slagging Zara off in the process.

Lovely.

Speaking to The Mirror Online, Deone said the circumstances were 'bittersweet' but that she 'saw it coming'.

"We are supposed to be role models for young girls and represent our chosen charities - [Zara] knew this," she said.

"Everyone is briefed before entering a pageant. It's drummed into your head. There are contracts in place. You can't be seen naked or topless and you definitely cannot have sex on TV."

Anyone else think that the Miss GB organisation is REAPING the exposure that Love Island has given them?

Anyway, Deone continued:

"The rules are all on the website. Some say they're outdated but at the end of the day, rules are rules and you have to stick to them.

"Zara has been in the pageant industry a long time. She would have known all of this. She knew the difficult situation she would have been putting the organisers in.

Deone also confirmed that she would never go on Love Island. Which is just as well really.

"I think the idea of someone watching you all the time is scary. I love these reality show but I don't think I could actually be on one."

Your move, Zara.
