Ten of 28 beauty pageant contenders walked out of the final of China’s Top Model of the World contest, saying it was fixed, a claim the organisers denied, the Beijing Morning Post said yesterday.

The boycotters also said the models had been forced to participate in shows outside the competition, including being taken to an “entertainment venue” where some members of the audience wore nothing but pyjamas, the newspaper said.

The organiser told the newspaper the competition was fair and that the trip to the “entertainment venue” was a mistake, and that it did not know the nature of the place before the contestants were taken there.
