MISS Colombia has opened up on her humiliation at

being wrongly named Miss Universe and what she has been doing to move past the debacle.

Two weeks ago Ms Gutierrez shed tears as she was crowned Miss Universe.

However four minutes later her tears of joy changed to tears of heartbreak when host Steve Harvey said he had announced the wrong winner.

Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach put her hand over her mouth, knowing that the crown was in fact hers.

Speaking to W Radio in Colombia, Ms Gutierrez was frank in explaining her heartbreak.

“It was a very big injustice. It was humiliating for me and for all people in Latin America in the auditorium,” she said. “I have been disconnected, I haven’t received any phone calls, just a few people have been able to contact me and it is because I needed to grieve for what happened that night.

“It is been so hard for me. I had always dreamt about being Miss Universe. I dreamt to give that joy not only to my family but also to all Colombia, but I have to continue my life,” she said.

Ms Gutierrez said she thought at first Harvey was playing a trick on her.

“I thought it was a joke when Steve Harvey said it was a mistake because he is a comedian in USA, but when he actually said I was not Miss Universe everybody was in shock,” she said. “Paulina Vega did not know what to do and she asked me, and I told her take me off the crown. She did it, she put the crown onto the new Miss Universe and she pulled me and said, “Let’s go now”.

She said she would not let anyone take away the fact that she was announced as the winner first.

“Everything comes back to the original owner. I would accept with honour. The crown was first mine I put it on first,” she said. “I feel like the second Miss universe in a row for Colombia and the third one for the history of our country.”

Close contest ... Miss Philippines 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (L), and Miss Colombia 2015, Ariadna Gutierrez (R), wait for the judges' final decision.

Ms Gutierrez said she has been inundated with offers for TV shows and modelling shoots — and $1 million to star in a porn film.

“It is been incalculable the amount of offers I have received. Not all of them have been the best ones,” she said. “The worst is the porno video. I haven’t received a formal offer but I would never do it for one million dollars. For an incalculable amount. No, I am joking I will never do it. No my parents will kill me.”

Miss Colombia said she is putting away her pageant heels forever.

“I wouldn’t be interested in participating in any other contest or be part of any event of Miss Universe,” she said. “I have already closed that episode of my life.”
