Mortified Fleur East has revealed that she suffered a major Strictly wardrobe malfunction on Sunday (December 11).
The 35-year-old admitted she accidentally “flashed” the crew during the dress rehearsal for the glitzy BBC’s One show’s semi-final.
“I basically flashed everyone, it was so bad!” explained Fleur while recalling how she lifted her skirt during the pre-show rehearsal.

“It was really bad. And then my boobs fell out!” she confessed to co-hosts James and Matt on this morning’s show (December 12).
The Paso Doble was just one of two dances Fleur performed on Sunday. The singing star also strutted her stuff to a Charleston dance.
She added: “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.”
Luckily, her ensemble stayed strong for the live show, with Fleur ending up in third place on the leaderboard.
The X Factor star, along with partner Vito Coppola, scored an impressive 74 out of a possible 80 points.
Fleur’s awkward wardrobe mishap was not the only disaster the star suffered last night.
Fleur reveals show’s stars were snowed in
After the show finished filming last night, due to the heavy downpour of snow, the contestants, pro dancers and judges all found themselves trapped at Elstree studios, where the show is filmed.
Fleur said on the breakfast show: “I’ve come straight from the dancefloor after last night’s Strictly. We were locked in Elstree thanks to the snow.
“By the time I was leaving everyone was queuing and waiting to get in a taxi. But no one could get out! Even Shirley Ballas was stranded, sat on the sofa waiting for a cab!
“It was building up all night and as we were running in and out to do our two dances, we could see the snow falling and then just before the last dance everyone was like ‘that snow is really thick’ and I thought then ‘how are we going to get home?”
“In the end no one could leave because the snow was so bad!” she concluded.
