MANILA - Miss Universe Colombia 2016 Andrea Tovar was all smiles when she warned host Steve Harvey not to commit any mistakes during the coronation next week.

During the December 2015 coronation night in Las Vegas, Harvey first proclaimed Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as Miss Universe, only to return on stage to say that Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach is the real titleholder.

"This year, no mistake," Tovar told ABS-CBN News while laughing.

The 5'8 Colombian beauty queen has been consistent in dismissing Harvey's gaffe as a simple "error."

"It's just a mistake. Human mistake is normal," Tovar said.

Harvey said in earlier interviews that he has "begged" forgiveness from Gutierrez, and described his gaffe as "'four minutes of pure hell."

The American television personality will return as the host of the 65th Miss Universe pageant at the Mall of Asia Arena on Monday.
