Miss World 2007Margaret “Maggie” Nales Wilson (born March 15, 1989 in the Philippines but raised in Saudi Arabia) is a British-Filipino beauty pageant contestant, TV personality, and actress from Bacolod City. She was crowned Binibining Pilipinas-World at the 43rd Bb. Pilipinas beauty pageant held at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on March 3, 2007. She represented the Philippines in the 57th Miss World pageant on December 1, 2007.[1] She is presently an MTV VJ, the first Philippine beauty pageant titleholder to become one.[citation needed]

Personal life
She studied in Al Hekma International School in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Her interests include art, history and rock music.
Career
After her crowning as Bb. Pilipinas World 2007, one columnist allegedly questioned her qualifications for not being a high school graduate, which is one of the requirements for joining the pageant. A former Binibining Pilipinas-World titleholder and Miss World 1993 Finalist, Ruffa Gutierrez, defended Wilson in a television interview, saying that the latter was chosen because she is tall, stunningly pretty and smart.[2]
She participated in the 57th Miss World pageant in Sanya, China in December 2007 but was unplaced.
As an actress, before entering into beauty pageants, she made her first appearance in Kakabakaba Adventures. She then played minor roles in GMA shows including Darna, Encantadia, Asian Treasures, Una Kang Naging Akin and Joaquin Bordado, until in 2009 she reprises the major role of Babaeng Linta in the 2009 Darna TV series, which stars Marian Rivera. Darna is Wilson's first time playing a major villain after; she previously played a minor villain in the 2005 version of Darna, which starred Angel Locsin. Aside from acting, she is hosting Q 11's Fit & Fab, partnered with fellow beauty pageant titleholder Anna Theresa Licaros in season one and fellow MTV VJ Kat Alano in season two.
She said she hopes to make her mark in the Asian modeling scene, before eventually trying her luck in Europe.[3]
