Vanessa Feltz stripped down to a corset on her daytime show, offering to lend the garment to Madonna after the singer's Coachella costume went missing. The 64-year-old presenter appeared on her Channel 5 programme on Wednesday, removing her black jacket to reveal the corset beneath.
Vanessa's Generous Offer
Speaking to viewers, Vanessa said: 'I wanted to say to Madonna, her corset, you know it's disappeared, I think she thinks it's been stolen, she's definitely mislaid it, but if she has, I do have one she can borrow for her next performance if she's in the mood.' She then showcased the corset, adding: 'Here it is, and I didn't need to get it from wardrobe, I don't know whether to go like this, or like that, and then just fling it to my adoring audience.'
Vanessa continued: 'But, you know, this is mine, I had it in my drawer at Feltz towers and here it is. I don't know if someone's gonna come and arrest me for a crime against fashion.' The presenter looked slimmer than ever in the piece, flaunting her ongoing weight loss journey.
Madonna's Missing Costume
The Like A Prayer hitmaker, 67, took to social media earlier this week to offer a reward for her lost items, which included an iconic purple corset, a Gucci bomber jacket, and knee-high boots worn during her Coachella performance. She had first donned the outfit at the 2005 MTV European Music Awards.
Madonna wrote to her 52 million followers: 'I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing. Jacket, corset, dress and all other garments. These aren't just clothes, they are part of my history. Other archival items from the same era went missing as well.' She added: 'I'm hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team. I'm offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart.'
Police Investigation
Law enforcement does not believe the items were targeted. A representative for the Indio Police Department told TMZ that a missing property report was filed on April 18, 2026, at approximately 7:32 pm. The items, including clothing and jewelry, were last seen on a golf cart at the Empire Polo Grounds shortly after 1:30 am during weekend two of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Police said the two bags containing the items may have fallen off a golf cart operated by staff en route to load them onto a bus. Upon arriving at the hotel, staff realized the bags were missing. A spokesman added there is 'no evidence to suggest the bags were intentionally stolen.'
Vanessa's Weight Loss Journey
Vanessa has been candid about her weight struggles, having fluctuated dramatically between sizes 10 and 22. She first slimmed down from a size 22 to a size 10 between 1999 and 2000, but later regained the weight. She lost two stone in 2004 and three stone in 2007, only to regain it each time. In 2010, she had a gastric band fitted, which later caused complications when the band became embedded in her liver.
Madonna, who drops Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II on July 3, is lucky to be alive following her 2023 hospitalization for a serious bacterial infection, during which she was in a 48-hour medically induced coma.
