My mistake! Disaster on Miss Universe 2015 as Steve Harvey announces the WRONG winner - and then Miss Colombia has to take off her crown and give it to Miss Philippines on live television (10)

Steve Harvey strolled up on stage, the shame already evident on his face, when he told the crowd 'Folks, I have to apologize.'

'The first runner-up,' he then announced. 'Is Colombia.'

Miss Philippines stared wide-eyed at the audience, her lip quivering as Miss USA whispered into her ear and she realized what exactly those words meant.

'Miss Universe 2015,' Harvey then dramatically clarified, 'Is Miss Philippines.'

Wurtzbach joined Gutierrez on stage and stared into the audience in shock, Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega giving her fellow countrywoman a comforting pat on the back just minutes after they had shared a victorious embrace.

'Folks let me take control of this,' Harvey told the sea of boos and cheers.

'This is exactly what's on the card,' he then said, displaying the results on the camera.

The embarrassed host even showed the results card to the camera to prove that it had truly been his own personal mistake
