Vanessa Feltz reveals highly unexpected top tip after fashion emergency

Everyone remembers that iconic moment from 2000 – 25 years ago! – when Judy Finnegan’s dress slipped while accepting an award for *This Morning* with her husband, Richard Madeley, revealing her bra.

Chloe, now 38 and divorced from James Haskell, jokingly recalled the moment, saying, “She was essentially showing off her chest.” She and her brother, Jack, were both stunned and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Every woman dreads something terrible happening, but for Judy, her biggest fear actually came true on live television.

The host of *The Vanessa Show* almost missed presenting the heartwarming *Best* Heroes Awards last week. She also writes the advice column for the magazine.

She carefully took her beautiful dress from its plastic bag and then realized she’d forgotten the lace needed to fasten the corset – the part that created the dress’s flattering, curvy silhouette.

The presenter reacted fast when something went wrong, and cleverly used a staff member’s help to turn the plastic covering into a makeshift rope.

So, I was showing Siobhan Wykes, the editor-in-chief of *best*, this thing I rigged up. It was a close call – almost a disaster! Honestly, it was a pretty good idea, right? You can’t really see it because I’m wearing a cape, but picture this: if that string had snapped, it would have been a total mess!

“A Judy Finnegan moment, you mean,” giggled Siobhan.

Fortunately, that moment never came, and we weren’t surprised that such a smart woman came up with such a helpful idea – and a great piece of advice for anyone in a similar situation.

Gloria Hunniford, a star of the show *Loose Women*, was also at the event and received an award recognizing her work with cancer charities.

Vanessa remarked on her incredible strength, saying, “She’s raised a huge amount of money for the Caron Keating Foundation, remembering Caron – Gloria’s daughter – who we all loved.”

Catch Loose Women every weekday at 12:30pm on ITV. You can watch Gloria discuss her award on the episode from Monday, October 20th, available on ITVX.

The Vanessa Show airs weekdays on Channel 5 at 12.30pm.
