Victoria Pendleton gets caught in her dress as she performs Hollywood dance with Brendan Cole


Now that's what you call a costume drama! Victoria Pendleton gets caught in her dress as she performs Hollywood dance with Brendan Cole

    It was meant to be a romantic dance in the style of An Officer and a Gentleman, but Victoria Pendleton revealed a little more than intended.
During her latest Strictly Come Dancing routine, the Olympic star suffered a wardrobe malfunction after getting caught up in her ballroom gown.
Dancing with partner Brendan Cole to the iconic Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong song from the Richard Gere movie in a sparkly blue dress, Victoria accidentally revealed a bit of her toned derriere during a spin.

The accident happened as Brendan, dressed in the classic white officer suit, twirled the star through the ballroom during the slow and sensual dance.
But Victoria dealt with the display of flesh like a pro, as she just smiled her way through the routine and managed to pull her royal blue ballgown back to the right place.
The fact that her beautiful dress had a large split coming up to her thighs may have also had something to do with the wardrobe struggle.

Victoria however received support from her friends at home following the costume disaster, among which Brendan's wife Zoe, who took to Twitter to talk about the drama.
'Can we just get rid of the stupid floaty bits of costume please!! Gaaaaahhhhhh! Great job Vic and Bren. Very proud,' she wrote.
Despite the wardrobe accident, the Olympic cyclist and her partner did manage to impress the judges with their version of a Hollywood style dance.

After initially getting off to a bad start on the show, the Olympic medalist has certainly redeemed herself.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood was impressed by the sensual routine. 'I'm beginning to see an actress here. It was fantastic,' he told the nervous dance duo.
Other judges Len Goodman and Darce Bussell praised Victoria's progress on the show, as she previously had forgotten the dance steps.

But not everyone was impressed by the pretty brunette and her own officer of the evening.
Bruno Toniolo didn't like the performance as much and definitely noticed how the costume drama effected Victoria.
'You lost concentration and you kind of fizzled it out,' he told her.
The Strictly couple eventually got a total score of 22.
'You fizzled out': Brendan and Victoria received mixed criticism from the judges and ended up with a score of 22
