Live television is always a risk - and no-one realises that fact more than Australian supermodel Sarah Murdoch.
The host of Australia's Next Top Model made a large mistake when she announced the winner of the latest series - but it appears she was told the wrong name by producers.
It was then her job to correct the fiasco live on air... Gulp.
Sarah first announced Kelsey Martinovich as the winner of the series amid celebration music and cheering from the crowds. Kelsey even had time to begin her acceptance speech before Sarah realised the mistake, and had to retract her earlier statement and crown Amanda Ware as the actual winner: "I don't know what to say right now. I'm feeling a bit sick about this," the presenter said.
"I'm so sorry. Oh my God, I don't know what to say. This is what happens when you have live TV folks. This is insane, insane, insane."
Even after Amanda had been told she was in fact the winner, she seemed in too much shock to celebrate, while Kelsey took the news with grace, congratulating her rival.
While Kelsey lost out on top place, the programme have promised she'll receive a £12,000 cash prize and trip to New York as an apology, as Amanda walks away with a modelling contract, £12,000, a New York trip, a car and an appearance in Harper's Bazaar magazine as well as the coveted title of Australia's Next Top Model.
Wowzers. You don't see that kind of thing on Britain's Got Talent, do you?
