Carol Vorderman shares wardrobe malfunction as dress bursts open at races

Carol Vorderman has shared the hilarious moment her dress burst open at Ascot Races.

The former Countdown presenter recalled the disastrous moment in 2017 when she suffered one of her worst wardrobe malfunctions.

Visiting Ascot for the day, Carol explained how the dress split “from top to bottom” after attempting to mend the zip.

The 60-year-old wore a light grey bodycon dress paired with a speckled grey duster coat.

Carol accessorised the look with a large grey and black fascinator to match her patent black stilettos for a day at the races.

But it all fell apart after one fatal trip to the bathroom as the TV presenter struggled to get the zip all the way up when re-dressing, reports the Daily Star.

She told BBC Radio Wales on Saturday morning: “I couldn’t do the zip up could I and then I was like ‘Oh man’ so I bent over trying to get this zip up and guess what happened?

“The zip broke and it’s one of those that went all the way from the top to the bottom!”

But despite the embarrassing moment, the proud mum managed to see the funny side of things and now looks back on the mortifying experience as a funny memory.

She said: "I haven’t told anyone this story by the way.

“So I put the coat on and never told a soul, so for half of the day I was like open all areas, open to the wind at the back but with this coat on, oh my goodness me.

“I’m never wearing a dress like that ever again."

This comes after the brave radio host shared her recent day trip to the Ffos Las Racecourse in Wales on Friday and the TV star made sure to flaunt her tiny waist as she donned a skin-tight khaki midi dress.

Determined not to let history repeat itself, the star showcased her hourglass figure in the button-up dress which she teamed with a large white lacey coat for the A-list event.

Carol teamed the look with a beautiful timepiece necklace and added a sultry smokey eye to her full-face makeup.

She captioned the post: “Had a great day out at @ffoslasraces Racecourse with my mates this week … I've miss it so much.

“Can’t wait for my two horses to race this season … back cheering them on as ever.”
