Yahoo News Strictly Come Dancing star has wardrobe mishap in live show
Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova had a wardrobe malfunction during this week's live show as she took to the dancefloor with partner Tom Dean.
The BBC show returned on Saturday (September 28) with its second live show of the 22nd series, with a couple at risk of elimination after the audience's votes are counted this week.
Tom, a professional swimmer and Olympic gold medallist, opened the show with Nadiya as they took to the floor for their cha-cha-cha, with the pair shimmering in their sparkly costumes.

Despite the flashy look, her costume proved an issue for Nadiya, with head judge Shirley Ballas noting: "There was a tiny little mishap - not on your part but on Nadiya's. And you didn't flinch. We had a little costume malfunction. You coped and you carried on and I love that."
Nadiya, who gestured to host Tess Daly that she had ripped the leg on her jumpsuit during the dance, later paid tribute to her celebrity partner as she spoke to co-host Claudia Winkleman, lauding his work ethic.
"I'm very happy," she began. "I've been working for two weeks with this man and there's so much talent there. He works so hard - I'm very proud of him. Just keep on doing what you're doing and you'll do amazing."

The pair went on to score 20 points for their routine, a slight decrease from their score in the first week, which saw them accrue 23 points for their tango. The scores from the first two weeks will be combined for all the couples, with the votes from the audience being factored in ahead of the dance-off on Sunday.
Before the series started, Tom shared during a live interview at the 2024 Paris Olympics that he was taking part in Strictly, later admitting that he received a "slap on the wrist" for revealing the news early.
Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturdays on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
