Ryan Thomas was left slightly red-faced after his The Games wardrobe malfunction was captured on camera. The former Coronation Street star is currently competing in the ITV show, a reboot of the Channel 4 programme last aired in 2006.
The second episode of the five days' worth of live shows saw a return to the pool, more specifically the one at London Aquatic's Centre, as the six male celebrities took part in the Men's Freestyle before they joined the six female celebrities for the mixed synchronised diving which saw them go in pairs.
Ryan, who is starring in the show alongside The Wanted's Max George, model Christine McGuiness, Corrie star Colson Smith and Emmerdale's Rebecca Sarker, took to the diving board with his partner Chelcee Grimes and the pair didn't hold back as they headed straight for the 7.5 metre springboard platform, with no other duo going as high.

But after taking their leap, Ryan, who played Corrie's Jason Grimshaw, suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction, leaving viewers at home in hysterics - including the 37-year-old's fiancée Lucy Mecklenburgh who filmed the moment and shared it on her Instagram Story with her laughing in the background.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner impressed with his dive, but as he resurfaced from the water the cameras caught his skimpy yellow trunks had been pushed halfway down his bum. "There you go... the moon is shining!" commentator Chris Kamara was heard saying.
Filling him in on what they saw, Alex Scott told him poolside: "How hard was it keeping your trunks on? Under the water right there, we know you had a bit of a malfunction." A smiling Ryan replied: "Really!? Oh no," before joking: "Did the sock fall out?"
The moment was then shown again and over in the studio, host Holly Willoughby said: "I thought the point of budgie smugglers is that they don't fall off?"
@RyanJL74 said: "Whoops. Ryan Thomas nearly lost his speedos #TheGames." @Bhavna_ tweeted: "The Moon is shining [cyring laughing emojis] Ryan Thomas also has a nice bum #TheGames.."
But not everyone thought it was appropriate. @adjalf1 tweeted: "Imagine if one of the girls swimsuits slipped and they took a still of it... double standards much #TheGames."
"Imagine the uproar if they'd have shown a female contestants bare a**e ! #TheGames," @dwangeddy wrote. @Fruityloopster added: "That lad diving with his skids pulled down- Would it be so funny if it were one of the girls? #TheGames."
@HarryFan4Life_ also wrote: "Um I don't wanna see Ryan's a**e again thanks #TheGames."
Before The Games started on Monday Ryan took to Instagram to show off his incredible body transformation after 12 weeks of intense training for the show. The actor shared a look at his ripped physique, posting an impressive shot of himself in the gym, posing in just a hat and a pair of blue shorts with his washboard abs on display.
