Didusenko, 23, took home the crown in Kiev last Thursday but was later disqualified when organisers discovered she had lied about her personal life on her application form. She failed to disclose that she was previously married and already has a son.
The beauty queen has a four-year-old son with her ex-husband but competition rules ban mothers or women who have been married from entry. In a statement released yesterday Miss Ukraine officials explained Miss Didusenko had broken the rules and was no longer eligible to hold the title.
Miss Didusenko will be replaced by another contestant at the Miss Universe 2018 competition in China in December.
