Short-lived joy: Kelsey Martinovich, centre, is told she has won by Sarah Murdoch, right, while the real winner Amanda Ware applauds politely
It is every television host's worst nightmare.
And Sarah Murdoch, presenter of Australia's Next Top Model, was mortified when she announced the wrong winner on the show last night.
In fairness, the 38-year-old blonde had been fed the incorrect name via her earpiece - but that didn't reduce the embarrassment factor.
Murdoch had to cut short the celebrations of Kelsey Martinovich, 19, and reveal the actual winner was her 18-year-old rival Amanda Ware
OMG! Shocked Sarah Murdoch discovers she was fed the wrong name and works out how she's going to announce the amended result
'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.
Anxious wait: Kelsey, left, and Amanda hold hands as they wait to learn which of them has won Australia's Next Top Model
Er, there's been a mistake: Sarah Murdoch has to tell the girls she announced the result incorrectly
And the winner was actually... Now it's Kelsey's turn to put her hands to her face as Amanda is declared the real victor
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.
Winning figure: Amanda Ware strikes a pose after the Next Top Model embarrassment was cleared up
Murdoch had actually replaced a host, Jodhi Mears, who famously made a string of mistakes during the 2007 edition of Australia's Next Top Model.
The wife of Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert, broke into TV after appearing as a model in the world's top magazines, including Sports Illustrated.
She has three children, after giving birth to a daugher Aerin in April, to add to
her two sons, Kalan and Aidan
