Miss Philippines is this year’s winner, but for a a few minutes on Sunday evening, it appeared as if it might have been a repeat win for Miss Colombia

Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was already wearing the crown when Steve Harvey returned to apologize.

Harvey said it was his mistake and that he would take full responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was this year’s winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up.

He held up the card for Fox network cameras to see up close afterward. Talking with reporters afterward, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it human error.
