Watch: Harry Styles left mortified as he rips his trousers on stage

Harry Styles was left red-faced on Thursday night when his trousers ripped during a concert in front of childhood crush Jennifer Aniston

The Watermelon Sugar singer, 28, was performing his hit Music For A Sushi Restaurant when he crouched down in front of fans, split his pants and accidentally flashed his underwear at the Kai Forum in Inglewood, California.

The Grammy winner’s face dropped in horror when he realised what had happened and he placed a hand over the rip.

Styles continued his performance and fortunately managed to salvage the embarrassing situation by wrapping a Pride flag around his waist.

As the song came to a close, he briefly left the stage and changed into a second pair of trousers.

Laughing off his wardrobe malfunction after changing, Styles joked: “My trousers ripped. I feel I must apologise to a certain few of you right down in the front there. I mean this is a family show.

“You sir, are you ok? I promise it’s not part of the show,” he told one man.

”It’s a family show… or is it? It is! Or is it?”

On Twitter, videos of the incident have since gone viral with many fans pointing out that he ripped his pants just metres away from Friends actress Jennifer Aniston, who he has previously said was his first celebrity crush.

One fan commented: “Did Harry know Jennifer Aniston was there and that he ripped his pants right in front of her”.

“Harry ripping his pants in front of Jennifer Aniston is most likely a traumatic moment for him,” another remarked.

A third tweeted: “Harry’s first ever celebrity crush [Jennifer Aniston] is in the audience tonight and he F***ING RIPPED HIS PANTS in front of her”.

Styles is no stranger to a wardrobe malfunction having ripped his sequinned jumpsuit during a concert in Sao Paolo in Brazil in December.
