Amazon Pulls Plug on ‘Cortes y Moctezuma’ Miniseries Starring Javier Bardem Due to COVID-19

Miss England beauty queen is turning her back on pageants and kicking off her high-heels to swap them for a high-vis as she is set to become a lorry driver.The bombshell is turning her back on the pageantry world as she trains to become a lorry driver due to a shortage of UK truckers.Milly Everatt, 22, grew up on her parent’s farm and is working towards a new career in a traditionally male-dominated industry in order to challenge the stereotype many women within the industry face.She grew up on a farm so is no stranger to managing big vehicles as she used to drive tractors around.Milly is training for both her Class 1 and Class 2 HGV licence which could see her behind the wheel of 44-tonne lorries.She was inspired to make the jump after a combination of events, including Covid, Brexit and other factors which led to a shortage of HGV drivers across the country.The career change is a far cry from her glamourous pageant days as she walked the catwalk as a model and finalist in the Miss England beauty contest.The former Miss Lincolnshire was crowned Miss Charity in 2018 after raising the most money for good causes.Four years later, stunning Milly is now on course to become a lorry driver to prove it's "not just 40-year-old men" who can operate heavy-duty vehicles.It is currently estimated that only 1% to 3% of HGV drivers are female, something that Milly is trying to change.She said: “I think we’re in modern times and there’s nothing to stop girls getting involved in that kind of thing.“It’s not the norm but it should be. It’s also something people don’t think about often, it’s not thought about enough in feminism.“Agriculture has been forgotten about by feminism."Anything that breaks the stereotype has to be a good thing.

The 25-year-old has knocked out four of those opponents, including former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley twice, but is still not rated highly by BoxRec.And the controversial social media star will be devastated to learn he is only ranked number 676 in the world across the cruiserweight division.Out of a total 1,050 active boxers, Paul’s accomplishments do not even land him in the top half of his division.It also means he is 200 places below Thomas Russell, who has a jaw-dropping record of 0-18.The harsh ranking may be a surprise to some given his wins over AnEsonGib, Nate Robinson, Ben Askren and Woodley, but Paul is still yet to face a fellow professional.And it comes despite his trainer and former WBC cruiserweight title contender BJ Flores claiming he was the “biggest up and coming star” in the sport.He said: "Jake is a superstar.
