Craziest Wardrobe Malfunctions to Ever Happen on TV Talent Shows
1. Katy Perry, American Idol 2022
During an impromptu performance of her smash hit “Teenage Dream,” Katy Perry hilariously suffered a fashion disaster. The singer was bending down when her red leather pants suddenly ripped at the back. Perry didn’t seem ashamed though, even asking for a yellow duct tape to repair her bottoms.
2. Katy Perry, American Idol 2018
Once when Perry joined an auditionee on stage to dance, energy and excitement probably got the better of her that it led to a wardrobe fail. While moving to the music, she lost balance on her heels and slipped, accidentally giving people in the studio something to “unsee.” Not losing her poise though, the singer just laughed it all off.
3. Amanda Holden, Britain’s Got Talent 2013
No list of the most epic wardrobe malfunctions will never not include Amanda Holden’s dress fail back in BGT 2013. This major mishap in the live Finals has partly revealed her nipple as her golden gown slipped down. Apparently, Holden didn’t really notice this blunder until the internet woke her up for it.
4. DreamBears, Britain’s Got Talent 2009
Reaching the Semi-finals of BGT, Justin, Luke, and Dan danced to “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls. Unfortunately though, Simon Cowell buzzed the act, jokingly citing “wardrobe problem” as the reason why. This was because one member’s tight short lifted too much that it revealed his black underwear.
5. David Walliams, Britain’s Got Talent 2017
This wasn’t supposed to be a wardrobe malfunction, but David Walliams is willing enough to drop his trousers for everyone’s eyes to see. Back in BGT 2017 auditions, Walliams jumped onto the judges table to pull his pants and show his cheeky tattoos. What made this scene even funnies was Cowell’s unhidden horrified reaction.
6. Lorna Bliss, Britain’s Got Talent 2011
Lorna Bliss is a Britney Spears impersonator who joined series five of Britain’s Got Talent. During auditions, she performed Spears’ hit “Toxic,” shocking the crowd with her revealing and provocative moves. All three judges buzzed her, believing that her act wasn’t worthy to progress in the competition.
7. Steve, X Factor UK 2017
Nervous to be on TV, 50-year-old Steve has gotten everyone laughing and excited when there appeared to be a bulge in his pants. This erection was something that X Factor fans couldn’t ignore at the time, causing Cowell to remind the audience to calm down.
