Mr World contestants go to work on an egg
by Angela Cole
You might think a beauty contest for men would involve less
preening than for their female counterparts.
But 50 Mr World contestants managed to get through 2,400 eggs
between them as part of their high-protein diets while staying in
Maidstone.
Some of the world’s most handsome men spent two weeks staying at
the Tudor Park Marriott Hotel in Bearsted while battling it out for
the title, and were also filmed for a six-part television series -
to be aired in the New Year.
Mr England – also known as 20-year-old music student Roland
Johnson – said: “It’s been hard to be strict with the “all you can
eat” buffet every evening, so the gym and pool have been exactly
what we needed.”
The boys took part in challenges including a golf tournament, a
penalty shoot-out and used the luxury gym and pool daily to ensure
they were in peak condition.
The hotel had to order in 1,200 extra eggs a week to keep up
with their high protein, low fat diets.
General manager Russel Storey said: “It has been a pleasure to
host this group of delightful young men and very exciting for the
hotel’s staff to be part of this event.”
The final will take place later today at the Kent Event Centre
at Detling, hosted by Myleene Klass.
