Wrong contestant crowned at Miss Universe 2015

But, Harvey wrongly announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Guiterrez, to be the victor.

Miss Universe host, comedian Steve Harvey, misread his cue card and initially announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the victor.

Miss Philippines was named Miss Universe in a drama-filled turn worthy of a telenovela.

“Sorry folks. There’s… I have to apologise”, Harvey said, clearly shaken while the crowd continued to scream.

Videos of the post show reactions of both Miss Phillipines and Miss Columbia were posted on the Miss Universe official Twitter account.

Confused and shocked, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, a.k.a. Miss Philippines, makes her way to front of the crowd.

While some slammed Harvey for his mistake, some chose to be amusing and tweeted witty comments about the mix-up.

Then, Steve slowly walked back on stage and revealed that he had made a huge mistake and announced the wrong victor.

When Harvey returned to the stage, Wurtzbach appeared at a loss of what to do.

Other contestants comfort Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, center, after she was incorrectly crowned Miss Universe at the Miss Universe pageant on Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015, in Las Vegas. Disgusting mistake, but the right thing – I can show it to you right here.

In a press conference held later, Miss Philippines has said that she thought it was her destiny to win and that she felt bad for Miss Colombia.

In a tweet that was later removed, he added: “This was a terribly honest human mistake”.

For her winning answer, the 26-year-old Filipina beauty said she wants to use her voice to influence the youth and raise awareness on certain issues like HIV if she wins the crown.

Mario Lopez, a former host of Miss Universe, also expressed his support.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was once owner of the pageant, but sold it earlier this year after he created controversy over his comments about Mexican immigrants.
