Miss Australia literally STABBED in the back by Miss Universe contestant

When Australian beauty queen Jesinta Campbell entered the Miss Universe pageant she learnt the hard way that backstabbing among the contestants wasn't just words.

One of her competitors, she has now revealed, laced her national costume with pins, which stuck into her skin and made her wince as she walked on to the stage in the competition last month.

Her outfit was perfect for concealing the handiwork of her mysterious and apparently jealous assailant - it was a swirling flamenco-style dress decorated with Aboriginal-style art.

Ms Campbell, 19, from Queensland's Gold Coast, finished third in the Las Vegas contest which drew beautiful women from 82 other countries.
