Helen Morgan

Helen Elizabeth Morgan (born 29 September 1952) is a British actress, model, TV hostess, and beauty pageant contestant who won the 1974 Miss Wales, Miss United Kingdom and Miss World pageants. Morgan became the first winner to resign, and the second (after Marjorie Wallace) to not complete her one-year reign as Miss World.

Biography Born in Walsall, Staffordshire, England she worked in a bank. Entering modelling competitions on a part-time basis, she won the Miss Wales (representing Barry in the competition for that title) and Miss United Kingdom titles in 1974.

Miss Universe 1974 Morgan represented Wales in the Miss Universe 1974 pageant, where she finished as first runner up.

Miss World 1974 Winning Miss United Kingdom earned Morgan the right to represent the United Kingdom in Miss World. She had originally been reluctant to enter the Miss Wales competition, and was eventually paid £30 as a last-minute stand-in when another competitor dropped out. She later left the UK, and now lives in Spain with her husband Ronny Lamb and family.

In 2004, Morgan agreed to judge the 2004 Miss Wales competition in Swansea, the 30th anniversary of her competition win, won by Amy Guy.
