The world of beauty is currently imploding after the host of the The Miss Universe beauty pageant in Las Vegas announced the wrong winner.

Comedian and celebrity Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia’s Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner over Miss Philippines’ Pia Alonzo… that was until he realised he’d made a fuck-up of biblical Sarah Murdoch’ian proportions.

After the celebrations had begun for the Gutierrez and the nation of Colombia, Harvey had to step back on stage and announce that he’d make the wrong announcement

“I have to apologise,”

“There’s been a mistake.

“The first runner-up is Colombia. Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines!”

Harvey then went on to take full responsibility, but then blamed it on what was shown on the card.


The announcement comes 5 years after the same blooper occurred on Australia’s Next Top Model when Sarah Murdoch announced the wrong winner.
