A glamorous finalist in a national beauty contest in Kazakhstan has dramatically confessed that he is a man.
Ilay Dyagilev, 22, fooled organisers by posing as Alina Alieva, beating some 4,000 applicants to the last stage of the competition.
The male model said: 'My friends and I, we had a debate on beauty, and I decided to take part in the pageant. I've always been a champion of natural beauty.
'You can see that many young women look identical, the same make-up, the same style - and they believe that they are beautiful if they follow trends. I don't think so.'
But he decided to tell the organisers of Miss Virtual Kazakhstan that they had been conned, as had online voters from all over the ex-Soviet state.
'I came through to the finale and decided to expose the identity of Arina Alieva when I realised it had gone too far.
'At the very beginning there were around 4,000 applications from across Kazakhstan, but I got to the final,' he said.
The organisers said they were 'shocked' by the revelation of the man from Almaty.
Ilay's confession led to him being removed from the finalists and replaced by Aikerim Temirkhanova, 18.
She has scored 1975 votes in the semi final compared with 2012 for the fake Arina Alieva.
The imposter came through a semi-final which whittled the numbers down from 142 to 16.
