THIS BEAUTY QUEEN, Dorothy Whitehead, has been disqualified as winner of Britain’s “Million-Dollar Legs” contest because the organisers say she is too old. She has been told to return her silver trophy and £500 prize money, awarded at London’s Lyceum Ballroom a week ago. A spokesman for the organisers said that she had given her age on the entry form as 25. It was learned later that she was 33, three years over the limit.
