Murdoch declared 19 year old Kelsey Martinovich as the winner tonight as the crowd erupted.
But no sooner had Kelsey made her thankyou speech did a gobsmacked Murdoch begin to backtrack before a stunned audience.
“Oh my God, I don’t know what to say right now,” she said.
“I’m feeling a bit sick about this. No. I’m so sorry about this. Oh my God. I don’t know what to say. This was a complete accident. It’s Amanda, I’m so sorry. It was fed to me wrong. Oh God. This is what happens when you have live TV folks. This is insane. Insane, insane, insane….”
18 year old Amanda Ware was suddenly elevated as the series winner.
The two girls, in a clearly embarrasing live television moment, consoled one another and Murdoch.
“It’s ok, it’s ok,” said Kelsey.
