Wrong Winner Announced on Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 6 Finale!

It was the host Sarah Murdoch who committed a major TV blunder yesterday after announcing on LIVE TV the wrong winner of the Cycle 6 of Australia’s Next Top Model. 19 year-old Kelsey Martinovich from New South Wales was initially announced the winner during the live season finale but minutes after she gave a tearful speech, Murdoch (also tearfully) announced that the real winner was actually Amanda Ware of Queensland who has been one of the front-runners of the competition.

Murdoch was very emotional when she said “I don’t know what to say right now. I’m feeling a bit sick about this, I’m so sorry, oh my God, I don’t know what to say.This is a complete accident. I’m so sorry … It’s Amanda. I’m so sorry.”

Martinovich was graceful about the whole thing and let Amanda Ware have her moment as the real winner who was very ecstatic about the win.

As the winner of this cycle, Ware receives a modeling contract, a $20,000 cash prize, a car and a trip to New York. Martinovich was also given $20,000 cash prize and a trip to New York as compensation for having to go through that blunder.
