The famous Greek-Australian clothes designer and judge of the Australian version of “Next Top Model” reality show (photo), supported Robert Murdoch’s wife, Sarah Murdoch, for an unbelievable mix-up she made in the finals.
In particular, the19 year-old Kelsey Martiniovitch’s joy when she heard that she was the winner of the show lasted only few seconds.
The presenter had made a terrible mistake. Robert Murdoch’s wife (ex-top model herself), had announced the wrong name for winning the competition. The crown intended for 18 year-old Amanda Gooier but the mistake Sarah made, let her believe that she lost.”It was a terrible mistake but there was no feasibility behind to increase the viewing percentages”, Alex Perry said.
He also added that the famous hostess of the reality show was in sock after the mix-up and she couldn’t cohere. As soo
n as the producers of the show realized the mix-up, were searching for ways to rectify, whilst Sarah Murdoch almost burst into tears.”I don’t know what to say! I feel sick with all this”. Those were her first words in front of the 2,000 people audience in the final.”I am very sorry. God, I don’t know what to say! These things happen on a live show. It’s crazy!”She kept saying.
The commercial director of the Foxtel television network (part of which belongs to Murdoch), said that the mistake happened due to communication problems between the directors and Murdoch being on stage. He also declined that it was a publicity stunt. Foxtel came up to Martinovich by offering her almost 20,000 dollars and a trip to New York. However, Murdoch’s mix-up leaded to great publicity of her show.
