The reigning Miss England from Newquay has launched a stunning Baywatch-inspired calendar with a serious message - as she took her CPR in schools campaign to Parliament, writes Adam Dutton from SWNS.
Lifeguard Milla Magee has been on a one woman crusade to get emergency life support skills compulsory in all schools since being named Miss England in May.
The 23-year-old previously gained the support of Prince William and her local MP who last week invited her to visit the Houses of Parliament and Prime Ministers Questions.
Milla brought some glamour to the corridors of power as she discussed with politicians her bid to change the law to make CPR taught in every UK school.
And she coincided her trip to London with the release of a sizzling calendar featuring Milla on a beach in her native Newquay dressed in a red swimsuit.
Each month provides tips on how to perform life-saving CPR skills and proceeds will go towards the Miss England charity Beauty With A Purpose.
The contest controversially banned the swimwear round this year but Milla - dubbed "the Cornish Pamela Anderson" - says women should "embrace their beauty.”
She said: “As a surfer I have spent many years surfing in wetsuits and swimsuits, even bikinis.
"I personally think there is nothing more empowering than a woman feeling comfortable in her own skin. Embrace your beauty!”
Milla has vowed not to stop until CPR is made mandatory in primary and secondary schools across England and the national curriculum is changed.
Milla, who also volunteers with St John’s Ambulance, said: "Being invited to Prime Minister’s Questions and visiting the historic Houses of Parliament was a truly remarkable experience.
"The iconic building, steeped in centuries of British history, has been at the heart of decision-making since its reconstruction after the fire of 1834.
"Walking through its halls, adorned with gothic architecture and symbolic artwork, was a powerful reminder of the nation’s democratic traditions.
"Walking through the halls where once Churchill, Thatcher, Blair and many more had walked was an honour.
"To be invited into such a prestigious space, where the country’s most significant debates take place, was an honour I will cherish forever.
"Representing Miss England in this historic setting reinforced the responsibility and privilege of using my platform to drive meaningful change.
"During my visit, I had the opportunity to talk in depth with Noah Law, the Newquay and St Austel MP, who I am working closely with for my Beauty with a Purpose project.
"We discussed our progress on changing the law, aiming to make CPR training mandatory in schools around England.
"Equipping every child with the skills to save a life with their bare hands.
"Going forward to speak with policymakers and raising awareness about this life-saving initiative was a crucial step towards getting the project recognised at a government level.
"With support from influential figures and MPs, I hope to inspire a change in the law that will equip young people with vital skills to save lives.
"This visit wasn’t just about championing a cause—it was about trying to ensure future generations are empowered, educated, and ready to make a difference.”
Miss England director Angie Beasley said " We are proud of everything Milla is doing and how she’s trying to make a difference, even on her calendar which gives simple CPR tips on every page.
"With Milla being a qualified lifeguard, she also lives in Newquay and swims every day so despite Miss England banning the swimwear parade in the contest, Milla has opted to feature swimwear images on her charity calendar staying true to herself.”
Milla's mum Katrina said "Milla has had so many amazing photoshoots since she won and many of the photos are unseen.
"We really wanted to showcase these images as a memory for the family.
"I am very proud of my daughter, what she stands for and has achieved since winning the title back in May.
"Like many people I would love to see the Miss England and Miss World completions back in our TVs as I find the journey and whole experience very empowering to young women, and we need to fully support them in there choices.
"Noah Law is raising Milla’s project at PMQs and he will be inviting Milla back to Parliament so watch that space”.
The calendar's back page features an image of Milla when she volunteered for St John's Ambulance, giving advice of how to put someone into a recovery position.
The #gofarwithcpr calendar will be available on the Miss England website shop from this week.
