Nadine Roberts (born August 20, 1994) is a controversial
Australian beauty pageant titleholder who despite placing third runner up was crowned as
Miss Earth Australia 2014 after the initial winner was dethroned, amidst a corruption scandal.
Nadine Roberts initially placed fourth and received the title of Miss Earth Australia – Fire, at the
Miss Earth Australia 2014 pageant. Two weeks later, the original winner Dayana was dethroned by then director Roselyn Singh. Roselyn then gave the title of Miss Earth Australia 2014 to Nadine who was placed third runner up, this created a media furore amidst a major corruption scandal as to why the first and second runner up contestants had not been considered to be crowned as Dayana's replacement.
