The Countdown has begin for Miss Universe contest, which will be held in the Philippines. The 65th edition of the international beauty pageant is scheduled to be held on 29 January at 7pm ET/PT on FOX.
At the end of the ceremony, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach will hand over the crown to the winner. Steve Harvey will be back again to host the three-hour event.
Last year, the American comedian and talk show host, made a big error in front of a global television audience at the Miss Universe pageant, when he misread his cue card and announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. Miss Columbia was even crowned. However, in what will be remembered as one of television's biggest blunders, Harvey apologised and announced that Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, was the actual winner.
