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