The beauty pageant contestants holding the titles of Mr and Miss England are reportedly in a relationship – and have been living up their honeymoon period in Windsor.
Manuel Alcantara Turner, 22, met 23-year-old Milla Magee when she interviewed him as a judge for the Mr England final this summer and sparks reportedly flew straight away, making them the first contestants in the beauty pageant’s history to become an item.
Milla was crowned Miss England in May while Manuel, who lives in Windsor, was named Mr England in August.
Insiders say the 22-year-old British Army soldier, who is based at the Victoria Barracks near Windsor Castle, has been showing Milla around his favourite local haunts after the pair stepped out together at London Fashion Week in September.
Meanwhile, Milla, who has been dubbed the ‘Cornish Pamela Anderson’ – has promised to teach Manuel how to surf in her hometown of Newquay, Cornwall.
The Windsor native said: “I couldn’t have done any of this without Milla – she has been my rock.
“All this has been very new to me – the fashion shows and the photoshoots – and she’s helped me through all of it.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to take on these new challenges.”

And Milla added: “I have so much respect for Manuel and everything he does in the British Army.
“He has been so supportive of me and my projects, and I want to be there in every way I can for him as we represent our amazing country at Mr World and Miss World.
“I love spending time with him and getting to know him aside from our titles. I’m looking forward to what is to come.”
Manuel, who has been in the army since he was 16, became the first serving soldier to be named Mr England this year.
He beat over 150 men across the country to the title at a ceremony in Leicester in August, with Milla on the judging panel.
After accepting the top prize, the 22-year-old said: “It’s an absolute honour to win this. I will represent my country well and hopefully make everyone proud.
“In terms of ambitions, it’s to serve my country. That has always been my ambition and always will be.
“All I want to do is lay my life down for England, so I think that’s pretty deserving of Mr England.”
Manuel will be flying out to Vietnam on November 5 for the three-week Mr World finals. For the latest news on the competition, follow @mrenglanduk and @missenglandlimited on Instagram.
