5 Biggest Live TV Blunders Of The 10's
We all know that when you switch on that camera, anything can happen, from stage invasions, script errors and wardrobe malfunctions, and there's no going back. Here's our list of the 5 biggest live TV blunders of the 00's.
The Wrong winner is crowned at the Miss Universe competition 2015
We're diving straight into this, with a truly iconic mistake made by experienced host and producer Steve Harvey, in which he announced Colombian entrant Ariadna Gutiérrez as the winner, when his cue card clearly said that Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines had won.
This catastrophic mistake was only corrected AFTER Ariadna had been crowned and given the winners bouquet, leaving this poor women the job of swapping the bouquets and crowns of Ariadna and Pia. CRINGE!
Olly Murs announces the X Factor results... Before they're in
In 2015, Simon Cowell trusted Olly Murs, former X Factor contestant, with little to no presenting experience, to present one of the nations most popular TV shows (well, it was..). Doomed from the beginning, viewing figures sunk to an all time low, and just to put the cherry on top, he mistakenly announced that a contestant would be leaving the competition before it had actually been confirmed!
Nick and Simon chose to send Monica home, whilst Cheryl and Rita chose to send Anton, her opposition home, meaning that the vote with then revert to the public vote, the one with the least heading home.
Somehow, don't ask me how, but somehow, Olly managed to miscount the votes by the judges, announcing that Monica would be sent home. Although she did end up being the one with the fewest votes from the public, therefore heading home, Olly Murs stated this just a bit too early, causing one of the most awkward moments on the X Factor UK.
BOTS is taken off air as a fight erupts between panelists/ Chelsea's live eviction plagued with technical difficulties/ Lateysha's twerking fail on BOTS
I've decided to whack 3 together on this one, as they are all from the same program family. Our first error came in 2015 during the summer edition of the series, advertised as "USA VS UK", during an episode of Big Brother's Bit On The Side, in which Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Farrah Abraham, Vicki Michelle and Jenna Jameson were guests, a fight erupted between Aisleyne and Farrah, after Farrah had referred to Aisleyne as a "hag". Aisleyne then appeared to reach for her glass as if to throw it. Transmission was then cut, and the panel was removed.
Vicki Michelle was reportedly taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Our next fail occurred during a live eviction in the civilian version of this year, in which housemate Chelsea Singh was evicted from the main house, and sent to what was called the "other house", a smaller house where inhabitants were not counted as proper housemates. All seemed to be going well at first, until after the first ad break, where Chelsea was seen entering the house. Fellow "other" Jayne, who knew Chelsea before entering the house then said "Hello Chelsea" before the transmission then cut to ANOTHER ad break, which then began a wave of ad breaks and transmission, with a touch of test card. This pretty much ruined the live episode, as no one had a clue what was going on half the time.
Our last Big Brother blunder is by far the funniest, and happened when Rylan Clark-Neal asked the newly evicted Lateysha Grace how to twerk during Big Brother's Bit On The Side in 2016. It sounds somewhat tame, perhaps a PG, until Lateysha's dress splits right at the crack, showing pretty much her entire behind, bringing the rating up to about 15. Luckily, Lateysha was able to have a laugh about it afterwards, just as we were.
Jimmy Jump stage invades Eurovision
During the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest held in Oslo, Spain's Daniel Diges was unfortunate enough to be the victim of a seriously funny stage invasion during his performance of Algo pequeñito. about a minute into the performance, Jimmy enters the stage and begins copying what the dancers around him were doing. He was then chased off stage by security. He was then fined €2,000 and arrested.
Britain's Got Talent's eggtraordinary egg thrower
Contestants on popular talent show Britain's Got Talent hosts a range of different skills, including sing, dancing, magic and stunts, but some people will try and blag anything off as a talent these days, including egg throwing. The live final of the 2013 edition of BGT was turned on it's head during duo Richard and Adam Johnson's performance, when Natalie Holt, disguised as a member of the orchestra ran forward on the stage and began pelting Simon Cowell with eggs, which provided us with some mega LOLs, as well ads the question - Why?
After the two had finished, Ant and Dec were quick to point out that the egg thrower was not part of the act, even though i'm sure most of us already knew that, because why would two singers have an egg thrower as part of their act?
These are just a few of the many live blunders we've seen throughout the years unfold on our screens, but i'm sure we'll have many more in the future!
