Live last night, the finale of Australia's Next Top Model went horribly wrong, with host Sarah Murdoch's panic and sick-to-her-stomach feeling written all over her face as she realised, while the cameras captured every moment, that a terrible mistake had been made. She had just announced the wrong girl as the winner of the national competition.
Model Kelsey Martinovich, from Sydney, was jumping about the stage in a state of euphoria, having just been told that she had beaten would-be catwalk stalkers from all over the country to claim the prize that included a shoot and Harpers Bazaar cover, a modelling contract, a $25,000 campaign with Levis, a car, $20,000 cash and a trip to model mecca New York.But then having the dream ripped out from underneath her, Martinovich did not go home empty handed after the bungle.
