Melinda Messenger Hits Out at Miss South Yorkshire Beauty Pageant
Melinda Messenger, 54, a former glamour model and TV presenter, now a psychotherapist, was announced as the host of the 2025 Miss South Yorkshire Grand Finale.
However, she was removed from hosting duties, allegedly due to her age, despite the pageant's focus on inclusivity.
The event, a black-tie gala, is scheduled to take place at Sheffield's Royal Victoria Heritage Hotel.
She discovered that organisers were still promoting her as part of the line-up despite having withdrawn her weeks ago.
Melinda took to Instagram to clarify that she would not be attending the event, just hours before it was set to take place.
