Their outfits may be glamorous week after week but even the Strictly Come Dancing stars experience wardrobe malfunctions.

Waterloo Road star, Chelsee Healey, was the second contestant to tackle the dance floor tonight but her routine ended in tears.

Whilst dancing the Tango with her partner, Pasha Kovalev, the young star lost her footing as she frantically tried to stop her dress from falling down any further and revealing more of her cleavage.

In tears: Chelsee Healey was clearly upset as her dressed slipped down during her dance on tonight's show

As host Bruce Forsyth asked her what was the matter, Chelsee couldn't hide her emotion as she hid behind her dance partner.

As the judges and Pasha told her not to worry as it 'happened all the time' the young star just couldn't forget about the embarrassing episode.

Ruined: Chelsee started off so well but lost her footing as she realised her dress was falling down

And even positive comments and a decent score couldn't put a smile back on her face.

Len Wiseman described Chelsee as a 'Lancashire hotpot' whilst hard-to-please panel member, Craig Revel-Horwood called it 'fabulous.'

Upset: Chelsee looked embarrassed as she hid behind her partner Pasha to wait for her comments

Misunderstood: Host Bruce Forsyth thought that Chelsee was upset with her routine and didn't realise she had experienced a wardrobe malfunction

But it was a comment from host, Tess Daly, that was needed to perk up the actress: 'Can I just reassure you, we saw absolutely nothing,' she told her as they awaited to hear their total score of 32.

However someone who was left grinning from ear to ear was actor, Jason Donovan, who was last to dance on the floor.

The star was back on form as he received the highest score of the night - and of the series so far - a whopping 37.

Top score: Jason Donovan received the best total of the night and of the series receiving a 37

Wearing matching teal-coloured outfits, the couple danced to Bewitched and looked confident as they glided across the floor.

Craig thought the pair were 'absolutely fabulous' but couldn't help himself from criticising the technical downfalls of the dance.

But Bruno disagreed saying it was: 'Bewitchingly brilliant and slightly barmy!'

But regardless of what Craig thought, the Australian star wasn't going to let anything get in the way of his victory tonight.

Dancing before Chelsee and Jason though was Russell Grant - who was the first contestant to take to the floor on tonight's live show.

Better The Devil You Know: Russell Grant danced the Samba in red tonight

The astrologer was dressed as a devil as he danced the Samba with Flavia Cacace.

Russell tried his best to shake his hips to the very apt song, Better The Devil You Know, and twirled around his partner who was also dressed as a devil in black sequins.

Craig was pleased with the performance telling him that it was 'feisty, fiery and everything we expect from you.'

Spooky dancing: Russell and his partner Flavia were both dressed as devils and received some great comments

Len agreed saying: 'It could have been a bit sharper at the end but overall it was fabulous,' and the pair looked pleased as they received a total score of 22.

Next to dance for the audience was boxer, Audley Harrison.

The tall star attempted to do the Jive with his partner, Natalie Lowe, but it wasn't met with much enthusiasm from the judges.

Audley began his routine by pretending to play the piano and spun his partner around to the Little Shop Of Horrors song whilst wearing brown trousers with an orange and white ripped shirt.

Pretending: Audley Harrison began his routine by 'playing' the piano before dancing the Jive

Bruno began with the comments by saying: 'Big smile, great personality, bad footwork! The jive is a very hard dance to do but you did your best,' he told him.

Craig agreed by nitpicking at the technical sides of the dance but finishing off by telling Audley: 'You did make a gallant effort my love.'

And when Len told the sportsman that he 'commends him', Audley looked happy with an end result of 20.

'Flat footed': The sportsman was told that the dance wasn't suited to his build

Following in Audley's flat footsteps was TV presenter Alex Jones and her partner, James Jordan.

After being described as 'sexless, cold and stiff' the Welsh woman attempted the Pasa doble in a white floor-length dress.

James was dressed as Dracula as the pair danced to Evanescence hit, Bring Me To Life, and it seemed it was enough to impress Craig - who said he found the dance 'erotic.'

White virgin: Alex Jones played the part well in the story of Dracula as she danced with James Jordan

Better than last week: The Welsh star received better comments than the last live show

Len was also pleased with the routine as was Alesha who said it was 'atmospheric and brilliant' and the pair received a great score of 31.

Also hitting the thirties was pop star, Holly Valance, and her Russian partner, Artem Chigvintsev, who danced the American Smooth to the music of Swan Lake.

The Australian star tweeted earlier in the day that she was bringing along a royal guest to the show saying: 'Got a very special guest coming to support me in the audience tonight!! Excited to say I'll be the first to bring royalty to Strictly!! XXX'

Perfect: Holly Valance was praised for her dance moves as he glided across the floor to Swan Lake in a black costume

And sure enough her special guest was sitting in the front row - Princess Beatrice looked happy as she cheered on Holly during her routine.

Wearing an all black costume, Holly glided along the floor to several rounds of applause from the audience and received excellent praise from the panel.

All the right moves: The former pop star looked serious and intent on doing well as she danced the American Smooth

'I'd like the clocks to go back right now and watch that again,' said Len. 'It was terrific.'

Alesha added to this by telling them: 'You both look incredible. It was original and you were magnificent Holly.'

Even Craig was happy with the finished result which left Holly running up the stairs with a huge smile on her face which grew even bigger when they received a total score of 35.

Special guest: Holly was the first contestant to bring royalty to the show in the form of Princess Beatrice

Following in her footsteps was McFly star, Harry Judd, who tackled the Tango with his partner Aliona Vilani.

Dancing to Talking Head's hit Psycho Killer, the drummer looked dapper in a black suit whilst Aliona led him around the floor in a red sparkly dress, as he attempted to bite her on the neck.

Firm favourite: Harry Judd looked dapper in a black suit as he danced with his partner Aliona Vilani

King and Queen: The pair wore masquerade masks and sat on thrones as they began their routine

'You can bite as much as you like as long as you keep dancing like this,' Bruno told Harry once they had finished their routine.

Craig added to this telling him: 'I thought you did very, very well,'

And Harry's number one fan, Alesha, finished by saying: 'You're too cool for school....no seriously.'

Bite me: The McFly star put is all into his performance as he danced to the Talking Heads hit Psycho Killer

And once again the pop star was ecstatic as he received another single score of ten from the female singer, which resulted in a total of 34.

But someone who received less than positive comments but wasn't reduced to tears was Nancy Dell'Olio.

The Italian-American yet again found herself at the bottom of the scoreboard as she received a total of 14 after attempting the Rumba with her partner, Anton du Beke.

Risen from the dead: Nancy Dell'Olio began her routine in a silver coffin drinking from a champagne flute

Caught in a spiderweb: Nancy and her partner Anton wore matching silver and white outfits as they danced the Rumba

Nancy's main prop of the night was a silver sparkly coffin, which saw her rise from the dead in a white and silver spiderweb dress.

Anton wore silver sequined trousers and a white shirt as he dragged Nancy across the floor, but he was the one who ended up in the coffin as she locked him in there at the end of their routine.

Turning her upside down: Nancy was told that she was a 'walking disaster' by the judges on the panel

Go away! The Italian American finished her dance by locking Anton away in the coffin

But even this failed to impress the judges as Alesha Dixon started by telling Nancy: 'I think you're a sexy woman but I have to be honest, you're a walking disaster.'

Adding to the negative comments was Bruno Tonioli who agreed by telling her she 'needs to listen to the music.'

Someone who was listening to the tune was Robbie Savage, who took to the floor next.

Dancing the Pasa Doble with his partner, Ola Jordan, the blonde haired sportsman revealed his bare chest in a black and white outfit as he showed off his moves to Michael Jackson's, Bad, and ended the routine by standing on the judge's table over Craig.

Dancing footballer: Robbie Savage managed to impress the judges again

But Craig didn't find it funny as he criticised the technicality of the dance but finished by saying it was 'amazing.'

Alesha got all hot and bothered as she said: 'Robbie I say keep thrusting, it really works. You had real purpose and intent throughout.'

The footballer managed to not injure himself this week and happily received a total score of 26.

But also hoping to receive a decent score from the panel was ex-EastEnders star, Anita Dobson.

Dancing with her partner, Robin Windsor, the actress attempted the Tango dressed as a sequined devil by showing off her acting skills.

But it wasn't enough to impress the panel completely as Len told Anita: 'You lost your timing and your posture is your weakest thing but I still really enjoyed it.'

Nervous: Anita Dobson looked scary as she danced the Tango with Robin Windsor

Bruno added to the constructive criticism by saying: 'I never knew you could be so evil. You're great to watch but you need to work on your frame.'

However a nervous-looking Anita managed to look pleased as she received a similar score to last week of 31.

The last female to dance was pop star Lulu who also attempted the Pasa Doble with her partner, Brendan Cole.

Highway To Hell: Lulu danced confidently in a Bat girl mask

Dancing to AC/DC's Highway To Hell, the blonde star was dressed like Bat Girl in a sheer, sequined number and looked mean and moody as she strutted her stuff on the floor and rose above the crowd at the end of the routine.

Presented with a standing ovation, Lulu looked pleased with herself as the panel gave their opinions.

'Lots of tricks and quite a few treats,' said Len. 'What entertainment, I loved it.'

Alesha added to this by saying: 'I love your determination, it was a great attempt,' and the pair received a total score of 29.

Pippa Middleton, Chelsy Davy and Princes Beatrice clash... at the boxing

Pippa Middleton, Chelsy Davy and Princess Beatrice clash... at the boxing (with a fashion faux-pas in the red corner at blue-blooded bout)

• Glamorous girls out in force at charity event
• Royal blues and red sirens are the ladies' choice

It was already a sultry evening - and these friends of the Royals turned up the heat when they arrived in strikingly similar low-cut designer gowns for a charity boxing ball last night.

But Prince William’s sister-in-law Pippa Middleton, his former girlfriend Jecca Craig and ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell might have been wishing they had exchanged fashion notes before they turned out for the occasion in Central London – they each wore a shimmering red dress with plunging neckline.

However, the clash did not stop Pippa and Geri – who sat at neighbouring tables – chatting to each other. They appeared to be ‘getting on like a house on fire’, according to one observer.

Prince Harry’s former girlfriend Chelsy Davy, wearing a metal-blue off-the-shoulder gown, was also there, showing off her tan at the event which featured a series of amateur boxing bouts. One of the fighters was Hugh van Cutsem, a childhood friend of the Princes.

Princess Beatrice, in a floral gown, and her sister Princess Eugenie were among the revellers, though the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who attended the ball three years ago, did not make an appearance. Prince Harry also had other plans.


At the event three years ago, the then Kate Middleton wore a much commented-upon and equally revealing pink dress, prompting fashion watchers to speculate that she had provided the inspiration for those attending last night.

The guest list read like a Who’s Who of the Royal inner circle. Among the 850 people attending was another of William’s ex-girlfriends, Olivia Hunt, as well as actress Isabella Calthorpe, who was once linked romantically to the Prince but last night accompanied Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam and his sister Holly.

Red-faced? It would seem Geri Halliwell and Jecca Craig also had the same idea as they revealed astonishingly-similar looks for the glamorous night

Pippa Middleton’s boyfriend Alex Loudon, her brother James, Princess Beatrice’s boyfriend Dave Clark and Taylor McWilliams, who replaced Prince Harry in Chelsy’s affections, also turned out.

Tables for the ball, organised by jewellers Boodles, cost £1,950 each. Money raised last night was going to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, which grants wishes for seriously ill youngsters, and the Lt Dougie Dalzell MC Memorial Trust, which was set up in memory of a British soldier killed in Afghanistan.

Katherine Jenkins is stunning in aqua lace as she makes a rare public appearance with fiancé Gethin Jones at Wimbledon

By Sarah Bull

Last updated at 3:47 PM on 1st July 2011

They are rarely seen out together and never make public appearances on the red carpet like so many other celebrity couples.

So Katherine Jenkins and fiancé Gethin Jones caused quite a stir as they arrived at Wimbledon today to watch Jo-Wilfried Tsonga take on Novak Djokovic in the men's semi-finals.

Opera star Katherine looked stunning in her £275 Whistles Siri dress which she teamed with tan accessories.

Stunning: Katherine Jenkins and fiancé Gethin Jones make a rare public appearance together at Wimbledon

And former Blue Peter presenter Gethin also looked smart in his beige blazer, black trousers, shirt and tie as the pair made their way to their seats to watch the match.

Before arriving at the All England Club to see the first game, and Andy Murray's match against Rafael Nadal later in the day, Katherine tweeted: 'It's Men's Semi Final day at Wimbledon and I'm in the Royal Box! Come on Murray!'

Katherine and Gethin announced their engagement in February this year after Gethin popped the question with a £10,000 ring.

Settling down: Katherine tweeted her excitement that she was sitting in the Royal Box to watch Jo-Wilfried Tsonga take on Novak Djokovic in the men's semi-finals

Sitting pretty: Katherine looked stunning in her £275 Whistles Siri dress while Gethin looked smart in his jacket

A source close to the couple told The Mail on Sunday at the time: ‘Gethin proposed last month, it was a wonderful start to the year for both of them.

'Katherine is so happy and can’t wait to start planning her wedding which will be next year.'

And Gethin hinted earlier this year that the couple's nuptials are set to take place in Wales.

Summer style: Katherine teamed her pretty and chic dress with tan accessories and a huge pair of sunglasses

Matching: Katherine and Gethin showed off their matching blindingly white teeth as they watched the match

Asked if they had chosen a venue, Gethin replied: 'We haven’t got that far yet, but we are both Welsh. I can tell you we are looking at some time next year.'

He later added: 'All of these details are between me and her. It is natural that people like to know what is happening, but we try and keep our relationship private.

'We are simply together because we like each other.'

Smiles all round: Pippa Middleton was also in attendance, showing off her toned arms in a sleeveless dress

Stylish: Princess Beatrice teamed her black and white patterned dress with a white blazer as she made her way to her seat

The notoriously private pair have already decided that there will be no tacky wedding magazine deal on their big day.

Last summer they moved into a £4.7 million house in Richmond, South-West London, prompting rumours that they were thinking about getting wed.

Asked whether she wanted children in a recent interview, the singer said: ‘Oh definitely, one day. I can see myself married with children. I want to be a really good mum. Ultimately I would want to be able to combine both a family life and my singing career.’

This is us: Beatrice attended the match with her father Prince Andrew, Duke of York

Royal day out: Prince Andrew and a fellow royal guest Princess Michael of Kent appeared in good spirits

The couple met in 2007 when Gethin was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and Katherine made a guest appearance on the show.
He has said of their relationship: ‘It’s good and if I wasn’t happy, you would know it.’
Other stars at Wimbledon today included Pippa Middleton, Michael Parkinson and Denise Lewis, as well as royals Princess Beatrice, Princess Michael of Kent and Prince Andrew.

Fun day out: Michael Parkinson and an unidentified guest were among the other celebrity guests there

Sports faces: Denise Lewis and former Croatian tennis player Goran Ivanisevic watch the match

Ladies Day reign at Royal Ascot

She really HAS made it! Carole Middleton arrives by carriage in Royal procession with the Queen as she attends Ladies' Day

By Maysa Rawi

Carole Middleton was lying low while the Royal Family have had a busy couple of weeks attending official engagements.

But not one to be left out, she stole the limelight when she arrived at Ascot today in a horse-drawn carriage as part of the Royal procession, for Ladies' Day.

Carole may have started out her career as an air hostess but it appears life for the now party planner has gone from strength to strength as she beamed during the open-air ride with her husband Michael.

All smiles: Carole Middleton arrives with Fitri Hay, wife of horse owner Jim Hay, as part of the royal carriage procession for Ladies' Day at Ascot

The Queen looked pretty in pink, left, while Beatrice played it safe in a sombre blue

Royal attendance: Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip wave to racegoers

Kate's mother, 56, wore a champagne-coloured suit, teamed with a relatively demure hat given the occasion.

The Queen attended for the third day in a row,wearing a colourful pink coat and matching hat.

She was joined by Beatrice and Princess Anne, who took cover under umbrellas.

Beatrice, who played it safe with a nude hat on Monday, wore a stunning blue head piece.

Celebrities attending included footballer Michael Owen, Dragons' Den star Peter Jones and Boyzone singer Shane Lynch.

Newly-knighted entertainer Bruce Forsyth was cheered as he arrived at Ascot with his wife, Wilnelia Merced, who wore a chic white skirt suit by Puerto Rican designer Harry Robles and a hat by Deida Acero.

Sir Bruce, who had to fight his way through dozens of photographers and fans to get to the racetrack, joked that he liked to come to Ascot for the peace and quiet.

Kisses: Carole Middleton gestures to the friend as she gets into the spirit of Ladies' Day

Flower power: Liz Hurley wears a flower-themed hat and a Versace suit

Nice to see you: Bruce Forsyth, left, and Gabby Logan, right, arrived with their other halves

He said: 'I love the crowds. It's so restful. I come here for a restful day.'

He said how proud he was of his recent honour, adding: 'It's been very busy. It hasn't stopped.'

Actress Liz Hurley said she was going to wear a thermal vest under her Versace outfit because of the weather.

Writing on Twitter, she added: 'Trying on hats; which one will sulk the least in the rain a big consideration.'

Despite painstaking efforts though, racegoers spent the majority of the morning hiding their heads.

Parade: The Royal carriages make their way along the course at the beginning of the day

High drama: One racegoer wears a 1920s inspired dress while another opts for a more modern serpent theme

 

Super injunction chic: A hat puns on the latest cheating footballer scandal

But the pouring rain saw colourful umbrellas come out in full force, as the event continued for the third day.

Ladies Day is the highlight of the week and luckily the weather didn't seem to dampen punters' spirits as they attempted to enjoy the afternoon, come rain or shine.

Bird-brained: A group of friends all model matching bird hats

Washout: Racegoer Jenny Munklik wears a black swan style hat and a positive umbrella at Ascot today

Brolly follie: Punters wore their brightest umbrellas as one Japanese punter wore traditional dress for Ladies' Day on day three of the Berkshire event

Opened in 1711,Queen Anne first spotted its potential when riding in the forest near Windsor Castle.

Long gone are the days when the Royal enclosure at Ascot was so exclusive that divorcees were banned from its sacred lawns and women had to wear gloves.

Aristocrats once reigned supreme but now X-Factor supremo Simon Cowell has a box.

Soggy morning: Guests head into the Royal Enclosure

Singers Shirley Bassey and Bryan Ferry are handing out racing trophies this year although the honour of giving the prize to the winner of Thursday's Ascot Gold Cup always goes to the Queen.

And paparazzi on the hunt for the most outrageous hats on Ladies Day will not have to look far.

Publicity seekers sashay about in over-the-top concoctions in the daily fashion parade that was immortalised by flower girl Eliza Dolittle in the musical "My Fair Lady.

Never off duty: Model Aimee Nazroo poses in a Modern Milk hat and another model raises awareness for Malaria with a mosquito-themed hat

Cacophony: Racegoers are determined not to let the weather dampen their spirits

'You cannot think of Ascot without thinking fashion in the same sentence' said designer Amanda Whateley who is showing her collection once more at Royal Ascot 2011.

The ever elegant Bryan Ferry, lead singer of Roxy Music, sported top hat and tails to present one of the trophies.

'Fashion has always been a great interest for me. It is nice to see people dressing up. The British do it very well. Just look at the royal wedding,' he said.

Colour blocking: The fashion paraded included floral prints and this season's hottest colour combination, orange and purple

Exuberant Italian jockey Frankie Dettori, known as 'Mr Ascot' for his many triumphs on the great course, leapt from the saddle in his trademark flying dismount after landing the Prince of Wales's Stakes on Rewilding on Wednesday.

He had no doubt about the thrill of riding here.

'I'm overwhelmed. It doesn't get better than this.'

But a look into the Ascot archives shows that racing at the big meeting has been distinctly racey at times over the past three centuries.

In 1777, a boxing bout was held on the course with a giant prize presented to a winner who beat his opponent so badly that he lost an eye.

Life is rosy: A teal hat made with yellow and red roses

Birds of a feather: A monochrome head piece, left, and bird creation

Artistic license: Ladies Day always sees racegoers go to great and creative efforts with fashion

Today, racegoers congregate for a communal singalong around the bandstand after racing. It's a far cry from the days when cockfights were staged and 10 marquees set up for card games and EO, a forerunner of roulette.

In 1799, a full-scale riot erupted over accusations of fixing in a card game. The Light Brigade had to be summoned from Windsor Castle to quell the chaos.

Highwaymen preying on wealthy racegoers also held up coaches on the way to Ascot.

Colour coordinated: Women even matched their umbrellas to their outfits

Snobbishness abounded when the introduction of a rail line to Ascot meant that the masses could now enjoy a day at the races.

Nineteenth century reporter Pierce Egan feared Ascot could no longer be protected from 'the pollution of sheer cockneyism,' a blunt dig at working-class racegoers from the East End of London.

Ascot racecourse manager Charles Barnett, who welcomes 300,000 fans to the course over the five-day racing extravaganza, clearly revels in the rich history of the picturesque track.

'It is as stylish and elegant as it has ever been. It is only our first 300 years and hopefully we will go on as long as that again,' he said.
