Forget the gossip - New Zealand's Next Top Model won't be crowned until tonight.

Talk has been rife that 16-year-old Christobelle Grierson-Ryrie has won, but producer Anna Lynch said no decision has been made.

Producers of the TV3 reality show postponed filming the finale to keep the winner under wraps.

Grierson-Ryrie will battle Hosanna Horsfall and Laura Scaife for the title, but fans must wait until Friday to find out who wins.

Last Friday's penultimate episode contained a bombshell for Scaife, who confirmed during a mock media interview that she had a drink-driving conviction.

"It was definitely a low point for me," said the 20-year-old. "It got printed in the local newspaper and I felt really, really ashamed."

Lynch said Scaife told producers about the conviction before the show began.

The final screens on Friday, 7.30pm on TV3.
