Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas suffered a wardrobe mishap in Manchester today
The 57-year-old head judge slipped into a figure-hugging navy number for an appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning.
Shirley was spotted leaving the BBC studios flashing her shapely pins as she showcased her curvaceous frame in the knee-length garment, oozing glamour as she beamed for photographers.
The dress featured semi-see-through panels at the sides and across her chest, teasing a glimpse of her cleavage and décolletage, but, unfortunately, the sheer fabric also exposed her knickers and bra when she turned to the side.
The Strictly Come Dancing favourite pulled a cheeky pose, popping her heel behind her as she showed off her per posterior in the tight-fitting ensemble, which she paired with towering floral patterned stilettos.

She accessorised with a long pearl necklace and wore her chocolate brown locks in carefully coiffed curls which fell loose around her shoulders.
Shirley finished the elegant outfit with a polished make-up look, adding a slick of bright pink lipstick and cat's eye liner.
On BBC Breakfast, the Queen of Latin spoke out about her experience on Strictly so far, having replaced Len Goodman, 73, at the beginning of the series.
Asked about Bruno Tonioli's absence from the show this weekend, after photos emerged of the star enjoying his time off in Los Angeles, Shirley said: "Well, obviously he flies back every week for Dancing With The Stars and Strictly, and I saw the photograph."

She defended her co-star, insisting: "It was just outside his dressing room and I think he just had some friends visiting.
"He's flamboyant and lovely and we missed him a lot this week," she added.
Shirley went on to describe fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood, 52, saying: "[He] is just a pussycat and mad as a hatter. He sent me flowers when it was my birthday, he spoils me rotten, he's lovely."
