In contrast, unsurprisingly, Marcel’s revelation that he has slept with “around” 300 women was met with rapturous applause and laughter from the other contestants. After Zara confided in Kady (who “promised” not to share her secret), Kady is seen telling the other contestants and calling Zara an “ absolute idiot” and a “stupid girl”, whilst Olivia jokes “Miss GB fucks on the first date, you sure?” The women laugh as Olivia states that she “would never do that.” Here, Zara’s reputation as a pageant queen - historically presented as “pure” and “virginal” - is juxtaposed with her “bad” sexual behaviours, positioning her as possessing contradictory characteristics of both “Madonna” and “whore.” Such sexual double standards could be seen in 2016’s series, in which Zara, a former Miss Great Britain winner, had sex with Alex Bowen on their first date. ![]() However, in this series, the storyline with the most prominent virgin/whore dichotomy is that of the love triangle between Camilla, Johnny and Tyla.
