Strictly Come Dancing thrown into chaos with major Vito wardrobe malfunction

Strictly: Moment Vito's zipper breaks during dance

Strictly Come Dancing was thrown into chaos after Vito Coppola experienced a wardrobe malfunction during his first dance of the final.

The Italian dancer had an awkward blunder as he took to the dancefloor with Sarah Hadland, however things went wrong as his trousers started to split open.

The pair continued their routine without stopping and managed to score 38 points out of a possible 40. After the dance ended, the duo couldn't contain their laughter over the strange mishap.

Vito apologised to Sarah as he frantically tried to hold his trousers together with his hands. Meanwhile, host Tess Daly was lost for words and exclaimed: "We haven't got enough fabric! Oh my goodness. I wish I had a towel."

Fans online couldn't help but react to the malfunction. One person said: "Let’s face it, it was only a matter of time before Vito had another trouser malfunction."
