Strictly Come Dancing star Tom Dean experienced a wardrobe malfunction during his Cha Cha performance with partner Nadiya Bychkova.
The Olympic swimmer and his dance partner were the first to perform this week, dancing to Earth, Wind and Fire’s Boogie Wonderland in matching glittering outfits.
However, midway through their routine, Nadiya’s costume got caught, causing her to stumble slightly. Despite the hiccup, they continued with their performance, which didn’t go unnoticed by the judges.
Judge Shirley Ballas was the first to comment on the “tiny mishap”, attributing it to Nadiya. Host Tess Daly then elaborated on the incident for viewers who might not have noticed, saying: “We had a little costume malfunction! It ripped on her leg.”
Nadiya pointed out where the costume had torn, with both her and Tom laughing off the incident.
Despite the mishap, Shirley praised Tom for how he “coped and carried on”. However, Craig Revel Horwood was less forgiving, criticising Tom for “lacking fluidity”, resulting in a score of just 20 points, reports the Mirror.
Strictly Come Dancing continues as the celebrities compete each week to impress the judges and viewers at home.
In the first week, JLS singer JB Gill stole the show with his captivating Waltz to Leo Sayer’s When I Need You alongside professional dancer Amy Dowden, racking up a whopping 31 points.
She made a victorious comeback to the show after being unable to compete last year due to her recovery from stage three breast cancer.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the leaderboard was singer Toyah Willcox and her partner Neil Jones. Their Tango to Madonna’s Ray Of Light left much to be desired, earning them a mere 12 points.
However, things can change rapidly on Strictly, so who will be the first to bid farewell to the competition this weekend?
Strictly Come Dancing is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
