A mild drama ensued at the 2015 edition of the Miss Universe beauty pageant after a wrong winner was announced and crowned.
Watch Video below...
Veteran actor and TV host Steve Harvey, who hosted the pageant, announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo as the winner and she was already crowned by the outgoing queen, Paulina Vega until Steve Harvey rushed back on stage to state that there was a mistake in the announcement.

In what can be described as an embarrassing moment, the tiara was immediately removed from Miss Colombia by Miss Universe 2014 and Pia got crowned.
Steve Harvey also took to Twitter later to restate his apologies while saying that it was a honest human error....
I don't want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing.

I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.

Indeed it was a sad moment for all involved and it was clear that Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines had difficulty understanding what had happened.
Both needed interpreters to fully understand the situation, which created a very awkward few minutes on the stage. Harvey took control and showed the cameras the actual winners that were written, proving he did make a mistake.
