UNDERCOVER REPORTER TAKES PART IN MISS SPAIN BEAUTY PAGEANT

Gema Garcia, (C) an undercover reporter, takes part in the Miss Spain beauty pageant in Algeciras, March 13, 2002. The Spanish television reporter, who could barely walk in high heels, earlier tottered off with the Alicante regional beauty crown despite not being a resident and after paying 27,000 euros. She was in the running for last week's Miss Spain contest but withdrew ahead of time when pageant organisers became suspicious of her and discovered she was older than the age limit of 24.
