Reality television favourite Vicky Pattison has shared a cringe-worthy moment from her time on Strictly Come Dancing that left her absolutely horrified. The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner revealed she experienced every dancer's worst nightmare during rehearsals.
The Moment of Panic
During an intense practice session for the BBC's hit dancing competition, Pattison suffered a major wardrobe malfunction that threatened to derail her performance. "I was absolutely mortified," the Geordie Shore alum confessed, describing the moment her costume betrayed her mid-rehearsal.
"There I was, thinking I was giving it my all, really getting into the dance, when suddenly I felt something give way," Pattison recounted. The malfunction occurred at the worst possible moment, leaving the television personality scrambling to maintain her composure while fearing she might be exposing more than just her dancing skills.
Professional Panic Mode
Despite the embarrassing situation, Pattison praised the quick thinking of the Strictly wardrobe team, who sprang into action to rectify the situation. "The costume department were absolute lifesavers," she expressed gratefully.
The incident serves as a reminder of the physical demands placed on Strictly contestants, who must combine complex choreography with elaborate costumes that don't always withstand the rigorous movement required.
Not the First Strictly Wardrobe Woes
Pattison's experience joins a long list of Strictly Come Dancing wardrobe malfunctions that have plagued contestants over the years. From popped buttons to torn seams, the high-energy dances often push costumes to their limits.
The former reality star has since been able to laugh about the incident, though at the time it represented a genuine fear for the performer. "You're already nervous enough about remembering the steps and not making a fool of yourself," she explained, "then suddenly you're worrying about your costume holding together too!"
Despite the hiccup, Pattison continues to look back fondly on her Strictly experience, proving that even the most embarrassing moments can become funny memories with time.
