According to sources, yet another change is likely to be made in terms of the winner of Lovello Miss World Bangladesh 2017.
Winner Jannatul Nayeem Avril is set to be disqualified, with trusted sources confirming that Jessia Islam, who was in top three on Friday's show, is going to be crowned the winner.
Recently, photographs allegedly from Avril's wedding surfaced on social network sites. If they are truly hers, Avril would be disqualified as per the competition rulebook.

A member of the show's jury panel, who asked to remain anonymous, claimed that Jessia was the original winner according to the judges. Rumour has it that Avril was announced the winner because of the organisers’ preference and not that of the judges.
Antar Showbiz Chairperson Swapan Chowdhury previously claimed in a statement that both the participants' names started with “Jannatul,” which was probably what caused the confusion in the first place. But if the winner had indeed been Jessia all along, it is unclear how the mistake was made.
To clarify the matter, the show's organisers will arrange a press conference at Hotel Pan Pacific Sonargaon on Tuesday, October 3, 2017.
