Last night’s show saw Dianne and Will perform a quickstep to Maroon 5’s This Love.They ended the show with a score of 29.
However, it wasn’t the scoring that got fans talking — it was the fact that Dianne suffered a wardrobe malfunction mid-routine.
The dancer was wearing a pink dress that had pearls on it. However, during their performance, some of the pearls fell off!
After they finished dancing, Josh remarked: “You’re a showman now. You didn’t even mention the pearls fell from your dress, you were essentially dancing on ball bearings during that second half! You could have fallen over at any moment! Get off that dangerous floor and get your scores.”
Johannes Radebe also made a comment about the malfunction. “You left your pearls on the floor girl,” he told Dianne.
“Should I go get them?” Will joked.
