Australia's Next Top Model host announces the WRONG winner
So it was unsurprising that Sarah Murdoch, host of Australia's Next Top Model, looked mortified when she was told via an ear-piece that she has announced the wrong winner for the show.
The 38-year-old model and host had been fed the wrong winner so announced that contestant and runner up Kelsey Martinovich, 19, was actually the winner before being told the mistake a minute later.
'This is insane,' Murdoch was heard saying after she was informed of the error.
'Oh my God, I don't know what to say right now,' the host stammered.
'I'm feeling a bit sick about this. No. I'm so sorry about this. Oh my God. I don't know what to say. This was a complete accident. It's Amanda, I'm so sorry. It was fed to me wrong,' the host said as she revealed the real winner was 18-year-old Amanda Ware.
As part of the winning prize she will be signed with modelling agency Priscilla's, receive a $25,000 contract to appear in a Levi's campaign, visit New York to meet with ELITE agency, get a Ford Fiesta Zetec, $20,000 cash and pose for an eight-page spread for Harper's Bazaar Australia.
But poor Kelsey, who handled the whole situation with grace, didn't walk away empty handed -she received $25,000 and will be flown to New York for a holiday.

�Dancing with the Stars� puts end to Palin �boo-gate�
She didn�t even dance, but TV viewers of �Dancing with the Stars� may have thought conservative politician Sarah Palin was booed off the contest two days ago, sending producers scrambling to clarify the event.
Yesterday�s results programme, producers aired an unedited video clip from previous night in which studio audience members booed the judges for giving a low score to contestants Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough � not to Palin.
Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin is seen in the stands of the 142nd Belmont Stakes, the final leg of racing's Triple Crown, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York June 5, 2010
The catcalls happened off camera when Grey and Hough were being interviewed only seconds before Palin spoke with host Tom Bergeron about her daughter Bristol, who is a contestant.
To TV viewers, it might have appeared as if the studio audience was booing Palin.
Yesterday, celebrity websites and media watchers were speculating that is exactly what happened. But the video clearly shows the audience�s disappointment with the judges.
�Just to put the final nail in the coffin of �boo-gate,� Sarah Palin told me just before the show that she was surprised by all the controversy because she was booing you guys, too,� Bergeron told the judges on yesterday�s programme.
Indeed, the performance show two nights ago, the judges had given a series of low scores to several contestants, in particular singer Michael Bolton who was eliminated from the contest yesterday night
