A Miss World hopeful has been stripped of her beauty queen title after rivals exposed her 'crime' – of being a mum to a two-year-old girl.
Tamara Fernandez insist organisers knew all along she was a mother and had said it was okay.
The 24-year-old has never made a secret of the fact she's a mum and has regularly posted pictures of her tot on Facebook , she says.
Yet the Argentinian's hopes of repeating her success nationally – and going on to compete internationally in Miss World – after winning in her native city were dealt a knockout blow.
According to Daily Mirror, organisers took her picture down from an official Facebook competition page before telling her the bad news – the day after she won the competition.
Tamara, of Neuquen – 600 miles south west of Buenos Aires – responded by going online to complain.
She said the contest organisers were the ones who had insisted on entering her – even after she spoke to them about her daughter.
She said: "They invited me to take part on Facebook and I said 'no' but they insisted and said the contract didn't say anything about being amother.
"I've always been with my daughter, I've never hid her and that's what makes me so upset."amara, declared Miss Mundo Neuquen after a glamorous event at a city casino, added in an interview with a local paper: "I was studying for two weeks in the run-up to the final and practicising till 11 at night.
"The day I won I was shaking with the emotion of it all.
"When I had my child several people in the modelling industry said it was a mistake but she was born out of love.
