Rachel Sophia Adina Christie is a British beauty pageant contestant, model and athlete who was briefly Miss England 2009, and the first black woman to hold the title.
She was born to Russell Christie, Linford's brother, who was killed as part of a drug war at the age of 34, when Rachel was 8.
[citation needed] In the early hours of 2 November 2009, Christie was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Miss Manchester, Sara Beverley Jones, at a Manchester nightclub.
Greater Manchester Police had agreed Christie hadn't committed any crime and was released without charge or caution.
Upon her exit from the police station, news of the alleged fight had already made headlines and the speculation intensified and Christie subsequently announced her withdrawal from the Miss World competition.
