An Australian TV employee might be in the firing line today after accidentally posting a video online announcing the winner of Channel Nine's Celebrity Apprentice before it was due to air tonight.
The final, featuring contestants, Ian "Dicko" Dickson and model Nathan Jolliffe, battling it out for the crown of the reality show hosted by Mark Bouris, is due to air at 8pm (10pm NZT).
But in an embarrassing blunder, a video was posted on ninemsn last night of the show's final scenes and the grand unveiling of the winner.
The Age has chosen not to name the winner but the video - entitled Celebrity Apprentice: [name removed] wins - was still available for viewing this morning.
A Channel Nine spokeswoman acknowledged the mix-up.
"It is unfortunate," she said.
"Only 100 people viewed the video overnight. It was taken down at 8am and Mr Bouris will be firing someone at ninemsn!"
It's a situation Jolliffe, who won The Amazing Race Australia last year with friend Tyler Atkins, should be familiar with.
That final was spoiled when Jolliffe's friend Lara Bingle let it slip during a radio interview who triumphed.
