Fleur East had quite the eventful experience on Strictly in 2022, as she suffered not one, but two wardrobe malfunctions during the show. Sharing her embarrassing mishaps with the Strictly crew, she revealed that during the dress run, she inadvertently “flashed everybody” multiple times within seconds.
Fleur confessed: “In the dress run before the actual live show there were so many wardrobe malfunctions with my costumes in particular, so when I did the Paso Doble in the dress run I basically flashed everybody when I lifted my skirt. It was really bad – and then my boobs fell out!

“After that I practiced my lift in the Charleston and my strap broke on my top so my boob fell out again! “So that was fun… I was so nervous for the live show after that had happened in the dress run that I was like ‘please let my costume stay on.”

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were left wondering if Tess Daly had suffered a wardrobe malfunction as soon as she appeared in the ballroom. The presenter was back fronting the hit BBCOne show last month alongside Claudia Winkleman.
The Stockport-born star wowed viewers as she introduced the dancing competition sporting a one-shoulder form-fitting midi black dress while the sides of her classic outfit had mesh panels to add extra focuses to the 54-year-old’s sensational figure. But some believed the star ‘s dress was ripped at the side or were confused by the outfit.

A humorous clip of the incident was shared on Instagram by Shirley, capturing Motsi’s quick reaction as she urgently clutched her blue dressing gown to prevent any further mishap.

Strictly Come Dancing star Jayde Adams hit back at trolls and explained an incredibly painful wardrobe malfunction. The 38-year-old comedian was partnered with Karen Hauer on the celebrity-packed reality competition show and was the fourth contestant to be voted off.
Jayde has vividly recounted a specific dance routine by sharing what seemed to be a reenactment of her and Karen’s memorable performance from Flashdance during one of her live performances. She revealed on Instagram: “There was this elastic bit as well that went between my legs on my minge to hold the corset down, and I had to be cut out of it as it had started twisting, taking hold of my vulva lips and pubes.

“I cried. There are witnesses.” This unexpected and painful mishap left Jayde in a state of discomfort and anxiety just moments before her performance. Jayde further expressed her frustration at having to explain herself due to intense trolling and criticism she faced after the incident.
She said: “I know, I shouldn’t have to explain myself, but a lot of the intense trolling I had was about that moment, which has been very annoying for me because I know I can do them normally, I was restricted.”

Angela Rippon suffered a wardrobe malfunction following her sensual Rumba with Kai Widdrington in Strictly Come Dancing. The 79-year-old broadcaster looked incredible in a red gown with black trim and a gold sequinned body underneath which she teamed with matching ballroom shoes.
However, after they finished their dance, Angela had an issue with her shoe as she prepared to turn to the judges for their comments. During their walk towards the judges’ desks, she was seen to stumble, and host Tess Daly immediately rushed to her aid, uttering the words: “Is that your shoe, honey?”
