This Morning star Josie Gibson came close to a 'traumatic' wardrobe malfunction on today's episode (May 31), as part of her costume came apart. While dressed up as a mermaid to promote Disney's new live-action remake of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey and Javier Bardem, the 38-year-old's 'bra' fell off.
As she showed off her shiny blue tail next to a pool, she joked to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about how she now understands why 'Ariel wanted legs'. But upon flipping her 'fin' in excitement, one of the seashells purposefully placed on her bosom fell off.
"I've lost my bra!" She tells viewers. Josie quickly picked the shell up and placed it back on her, trying to act like nothing happened. The mishap left the Big Brother star struggling to contain her laughter, which also left Alison and Dermot unable to keep a straight face.

Swiftly changing the subject to one of the other 'mermaids' in the pool swimming around, Josie said: "There she goes, she's a pro, she knows how it is done."
She then asked the woman, called Lisa: "Can you do my swimming costume up for me? It has come undone - but I have had a lovely experience being a mermaid for the day. It has been mer-mazing."
Lisa quickly made a start on repairing the issue, and when it was time for Josie to cut back to the ITV studio, she said: "Thanks, because that could have been really traumatic for me there."
The comical moment made for a moment of laughter within the ITV studio, which is sure to be needed following the drama of Phillip Schofield's bombshell statement in which he admitted to having a affair with a young male runner on the show. It came a few days after he stepped down from his ITV hosting duties - including presenting This Morning, after 20 years of being on the programme.
Alison and Dermot have been filling in for Phil and Holly Willoughby - who is currently on an extended half-term break. However, she is due o make a This Morning return on Monday (June 5).
A source told The Sun: "Holly has made it clear she was one of the people Phil lied to and she has nothing to hide. She will return to This Morning as planned on Monday and carry on like the professional she is."
