Stacey Dooley: Strictly Come Dancing star spills ‘KNICKER FLASH’ secret
STACEY DOOLEY danced her way to victory on Saturday as she and Kevin Clifton lifted the Glitterball Trophy. But during her last dance, some thought they’d got an eyeful when the star flashed her knickers. However, Stacey has now cleared up what actually happened and spilled a surprising secret in the process.
Strictly: Stacey Dooley jokes about flashing her underwear
The last dance Stacey Dooley performed on Strictly Come Dancing before her win was her Kevin’s choice of a Paso Doble.
The passionate and intense dance saw Stacey flip her skirt up, inadvertently exposing her flesh-coloured undergarment to the audience and those watching the BBC contest at home.
But today also saw the 31-year-old clear up what had actually happened during that moment.
Stacey divulged how she was actually wearing a bodysuit as she appeared on This Morning to be interview but Ruth Langford and Eamonn Holmes, but she suggested they didn’t belong to her.
It's like a built in bodysuit so they're not even my own knickers
The Strictly champion said: "[It's] probably no real surprise. At least it was massive underwear. I thought, 'They're not even fancy, they're not even lacy.'
"It's like a built in bodysuit so they're not even my own knickers.
"I didn't even realise. When I went into wardrobe the girls were like 'Stacey, sorry, you were showing your area.'
"It's only Saturday night, it's not the end of the world."
At the time, some viewers watching at home couldn’t believe what they’d seen and rushed to Twitter to comment.
One wrote: “Did Stacey just flash the nation or does she have the most suited skintone undies I've ever seen? #Strictly.”
“Did Stacey just flash?? #Strictly,” another questioned.
A third mused: “Was Stacey missing her underwear in that dance #StrictlyFinal.”
“Was Stacey flashing or was that just me #StrictlyFinal,” a fourth shared.
It was the first Strictly triumph for Kevin who had found himself in second place four times already.
After he and Stacey were announced as the winners at the weekend, the professional dancer was clearly overcome with emotion.

Stacey gave a touching speech to her mentor as she said: “I should say something quite poignant, shouldn't I?
“You know how highly I think of you. I think you are the biggest gem.
“It's no surprise you have been in the final as many times as you have. It's daunting doing something you haven't done before.
“But he's so patient and he walks you through. You so deserve this. You so deserve this.”
The Strictly Come Dancing final is available to watch on BBC iPlayer, This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
