Host Names Wrong Miss Universe
Winner At Las Vegas Finale
In an epic
finale fail, the host of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant has crowned the wrong
winner.
Well this is
embarrassing.
The Miss
Universe 2015 final has ended in dramatic controversy after the pageant host
named the wrong beauty queen as the winner.
Social media
went into overdrive when US Family Feud host Steve Harvey first named
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner.
Cue
excitement, cheers and tears... of joy.
That mood
quickly changed moments later when Harvey was forced to retract his incorrect
announcement, demoting Gutierrez to runner-up.
"Okay
folks, I have to apologise. The first runner-up is Colombia," he explained
to the stunned crowd.
In a
demoralising ending Miss Colombia then had to hand over the official crown to
the real pageant winner, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach.
The awkward
- and we mean AWKWARD - ending left viewers in awe and sent social media into a
frenzy.
"Listen
folks, let me just take control of this. This is exactly what's on the
card," Harvey explained to the cameras, holding up the results.
"I will
take responsibility for this. It was my mistake. It was on the card. Horrible
mistake. It is my mistake."
Adding
insult to injury the TV host was quick to take to Twitter to apologise for the
stuff-up, only he incorrectly spelt both countries in the process.
The misspelt
tweet has since been deleted.

The
controversial ending occurred moments after Aussie hopeful Monika Radulovic was
bumped out of the competition after failing to make the top three.
The
24-year-old model was dubbed Australia's best chance to win the prestigious
pageant since Jennifer Hawkins took home the crown in 2004.
