Strictly: Tess Daly points out Nadiya's wardrobe malfunction
Strictly Come Dancing star Tom Dean faced an unexpected challenge during his Cha Cha performance when a wardrobe mishap took centre stage.
The Olympic swimmer and his professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova dazzled the audience as they opened this week's show with a Cha Cha to Earth, Wind and Fire's Boogie Wonderland.
Donning glittering outfits for their dance, the duo encountered a slight hiccup when Nadiya's costume snagged, disrupting her steps momentarily.
The incident did not escape the judges' notice: Shirley Ballas remarked on the "tiny mishap" and praised their recovery, while Tess Daly elaborated for viewers at home, revealing, "We had a little costume malfunction! It ripped on her leg."
Nadiya humorously showed where the rip occurred, joining Tom in laughter over the incident.
In spite of the wardrobe issue, Shirley commended Tom for his poise under pressure.
However, Craig Revel Horwood was less lenient, criticising Tom's performance for lacking fluidity" - contributing to the pair's modest score of 20 points.
The competition intensifies as the stars of Strictly Come Dancing continue battling each week, striving to win over judges and viewers alike.
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 an impressive 31 points.
Amy 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, as we know, things can change rapidly on Strictly, so who will be the first to bid farewell to the competition this weekend?
Strictly Come Dancing continues every Saturday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
