British schoolgirl won America's perfect teen pageant

                                                        

     

A British private schoolgirl has caused a storm after being named America's Perfect Teen.

Anysha Panesar, 16, beat a host of American beauties to win the contest while on holiday in Florida.

But the families of other contestants are furious at the snub to the U.S. girls - because Anysha is from a tiny village in Wales

Parents of the American girls have protested to the organisers of the pageant, which has a $2,000 (£1,300) first prize - and an $18,000 (£11,500) scholarship to train as a TV broadcaster.

But Anysha has hit back - arguing the outcry is just sour grapes.

'Some people did say I shouldn't have won because I'm British,' she said.

'But really I think the people who said that just said it because they didn't win.'

Anysha - who goes to the same private school in Cardiff that singer Charlotte Church used to attend - entered the teenage beauty pageant while at the family holiday home in Kissimmee, Florida.
