Wrong contestant crowned at miss Universe 2015 disaster strikes Miss Universe when Steve Harvey announces the Wrong winner <br>Beauty pageants are places where grace and poise are meant to rule, but a decidedly awkward moment stole the show Sunday. Miss Universe 2015 host Steve Harvey wrongfully declared Miss Colombia the winner when she was the first runner-up. Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, the contestant from the Philippines, had won.<br>A contrite Harvey was forced to fix his mistake. OK folks I have to apologize, he told a confused crowd in Las Vegas. Let me just take control of this. This is exactly whats on the card. I will take responsibility for this. It was my mistake. It was on the card. Moments before, hed announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner, and she was crowned. Waving a Colombian flag and smiling broadly, she blew kisses at the audience.<br>When Harvey returned to the stage, Wurtzbach appeared at a loss of what to do. Stunned, she walked to the front of the stage, where the coveted crown was taken off the head of Miss Colombia and put on hers. <br>Harvey later took to Twitter to apologize, but he made another misstep when he misspelled both Colombia and the Philippines in an initial tweet. That message was deleted.<br>I dont want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing, Harvey wrote.
