A 42-year-old man was crowned Zimbabwe's ugliest man at a pub pageant in Harare.


But, things turned a little silly when the runner-up insisted he was much uglier.


Yes, you read that correctly.


Maison Sere beat off five other contestants for the $500 Mr Ugly prize on Friday night.


But William Masvinu, a three-time Mr Ugly winner who walked off with a $100 second prize this year, accused the judges of bias.


"The judges were not fair, the organisers must look for new judges to start the contest afresh. I did not lose today," Masvinu said.


Event organiser David Machowa said he created the pageant in 2012 to celebrate "beauty in ugliness".


"The show last night was very successful, and I still have plans to host Mr Ugly world," he said.


We're just going to leave this here.
