Miss England gives up crown after arrest
It is believed Miss Christie became involved in a row with another beauty queen, Miss Manchester, aka Sara Beverley Jones, earlier this week.
A statement from Miss England organisers said the 21-year-old now wants to concentrate on clearing her name.
Miss Jones, 24, was allegedly punched in the face after an argument over TV gladiator Tornado, whose real name is David McIntosh.
It is believed that Miss Jones, a club promoter and would-be actress, is an ex-girlfriend of Mr McIntosh and Miss Christie is his current partner.
Miss Christie was the first black woman to be crowned Miss England and is also a heptathlete who hopes to emulate her uncle Linford Christie and win a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics.
