Peruvian plastic surgeon Dr. Cesar Morillas’s statement to a Spanish
publication, El Mundo that he had “created” Miss World, leaves
open the possibility that Peruvian Maria Julia Mantilla could be replaced.
Dominican Claudia Cruz would then become Miss World, as reported in Hoy
newspaper. Cruz works for the Ministry of Tourism, and travels extensively promoting the country abroad.
The decision is in the hands of Julia Morley, chairwoman of the Miss World Organization.
