Devastated Miss Universe Canada is stripped of her title after just 24 hours as counting error reveals she actually came FOURTH

For a dazzling 24 hours, beauty pageant contestant Denise Garrido felt like a queen - she had been crowned Miss Universe Canada.

But just a day after receiving her crown the winner was abruptly told that her reign was over - because competition organisers had made a huge mistake in their counts.

The “real” winner ain’t hard on the eyes, but I sure do think that they should’ve left their original choice! Wowza..

By the way, does anyone find it interesting that both ladies have Spanish surnames? Are there many Latinos/Hispanics in Canada?

Devastated Miss Universe Canada is stripped

As I read these first few words of the title, it began me down a completely different path than where it ended.

Don't cross the line with this one:

Ms Garrido, a biomedical sciences graduate who has a black belt in TaeKwon-Do and a grade 8 in piano, was left devastated after officials realised the terrible mix-up.

This reminds me of the movie "Footnote". A very good film where a father is mistakenly named the winner of the Israel Prize but it is actually his son who is the rightful winner. Quite a good film.
