Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tyler West has admitted that he had some “squeaky bum time” after he was caught short on set.
Tyler appeared on BBC Breakfast with Charlie Stayt, Naga Munchetty and his co-star Ellie Simmonds as they discussed their time on the show.
West revealed a behind the scenes secret about his costumes, but also remembered an unfortunate incident while filming.

He admitted: “Basically, I never knew [this], the costume department is amazing – so that my shirt didn’t come out, they would sew me into my boxers, which was amazing. I was obsessed with it! I was like: ‘This is it! This is never coming out, I need to do this to all my shirts!'”

West continued: “Then, a few minutes before we were about to go on, obviously, squeaky bum time. Little bit nervous. Wasn’t a good situation in the toilets, put it that way.”
Charlie then asked if he had “carried on stitching” after the show, but Tyler admitted he hadn’t continued the habit.
“No, I haven’t. Just in case. I had a coffee earlier, I didn’t want it to go wrong on BBC Breakfast, you know?!”

West also revealed that he had “lost a stone” while on the show and was met with amazement from Charlie.
Earlier in the show, Naga admitted that she had spoken to Tyler while a VT of him and his dancer partner Dianne Buswell played for viewers.
She asked him to repeat what he had just said and West replied: “Some say [the afro wig] is cursed, afro wig is cursed. Everybody that wears it gets [sent home], that was the night I got sent out.”

He joked that “no-one told him” about the cursed wig and that he “thought it looked great”.
Naga then commented on his black satin shirt and the former contestant laughed as he explained the reasoning behind his fashion choice.
Tyler said: “This show changed my life and changed my wardrobe […] Oh, 100% [embraced it], every single thing I wear now has got a little shimmer to it, a little bit of shine. Got to [spice up] your wardrobe a bit.”
