When Dame Joan’s slip was almost showing...

SHE once presented an ITV makeover show, Joan Does Glamour, in which she tried to make dowdy women look chic.

But Dame Joan Collins suffered an embarrassing sartorial crisis of her own at a party at Langan’s Brasserie in Mayfair.

‘A major wardrobe malfunction,’ the Dynasty star, 89, admits. ‘While laughing at [TV presenter] Richard Arnold’s joke, my zipper burst.’

Luckily, husband Percy Gibson, 57, offered to return to Belgravia. ‘Hubby to the rescue,’ she says, explaining he ‘dashed home and found another white dress’.

A carefully placed feather boa happily kept her secret safe.
