Francesca Hung is in Bangkok ahead of the 2018 Miss Universe pageant.

But despite reaching the heights of the beauty pageant world, the 24-year-old has candidly described her battle with depression and feeling 'worthless'.

'I hated myself and I thought I was so worthless': Miss Universe Australia Francesca Hung speaks candidly about suffering from depression and the quest for 'perfection'

'And I would look at myself in the mirror and think "ugh you're disgusting, what are you doing with yourself?"' 

She went on to reveal that she was driven by a quest for perfection and immensely self-critical. 

'I wanted to be perfect, but I was always berating myself and cursing myself, and I was constantly tired and exhausted,' she admitted.

The self-criticism was about her 'physical appearance' and believing she was 'unattractive and ugly to look at'.

Tough: The self-criticism was about her 'physical appearance' and believing she was 'unattractive and ugly to look at'

The beauty said her fears partly stemmed from being conscious of her half Chinese ethnicity.

Eventually Francesca sought the help of a psychologist and took anti-depressant medication, which she has now weaned herself off, and worked on her health and fitness, which she says has helped immensely.  

It comes after the brunette revealed she is more strict with her exercise and diet in the lead up to the Miss Universe competition.

She told Popsugar: 'I always tell myself that it won't always be like this, but I need to put in the hard yards now so I can feel my best when I am competing in the competition.'  

When asked about the pressure of needing to look a certain way for the pageant, the brunette beauty did not deny there was a desired look. 

'Of course with the Miss Universe Pageant, they want to see fit and healthy girls take the stage, so I am conscious of working out and eating extremely well before I head to Thailand for the final,' she said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
