Oh Edwina! Currie stuns Strictly Come Dancing viewers by accidentally displaying her bottom... AFTER her performance

With the revealing outfits which are part and parcel of Strictly Come Dancing, contestants sometimes accidentally show off a bit too much flesh as they are whizzing around the dancefloor.
However, in the case of Edwina Currie's performance last night, it was actually after her performance that the former Conservative Cabinet minister stunned viewers by flashing her bottom.
Thrilled that her Cha Cha with dance partner Vincent Simone had gone without a hitch, Currie lay on the floor and kicked her legs up in the air, showing a bit too much as she did so.

Oh Edwina! Currie displayed her bottoms as she kicked her legs in the air in delight after successfully completing her Cha Cha

Quickly realising her mistake, Currie, 64, attempted to pull down the skirt of her red dancing costume before taking to her feet and Simone put his head in his hands as he laughed at his partner's antics.
Let's just hope nobody in the John Major household had tuned in as Currie's bottom was shown on millions of television shows throughout the country.
Currie and Major are famous for having a four-year affair, which the former Prime Minister later described as 'the most shameful event in my life'.

Meanwhile, Currie has reignited her feud with fellow Strictly Come Dancing competitor Nancy Dell'Olio by saying Nancy should be envious of her.
Currie added that Nancy's dance partner Anton Du Beke frequently seeks comfort in her arms, adding: 'He always comes up to me and gives me a hug... he has a look of relief on his face!'
Currie's comments come after Nancy hit out at the former politician by saying she was 'not glamorous' enough to compete on the BBC TV talent show.

However, Currie contended that in fact she has a lot more going for her than Nancy.
She told the Daily Mirror: 'I’m deeply flattered about the alleged ­rivalry between Nancy and me... she’s gorgeous.

'But I am a mother and wife twice, a grandma and great-grandma, I think I should be the one that’s envied.'
Currie also said she was determined not to embarrass herself by displaying too much flesh on the programme in an interview completed before her performance last night.
She said: 'I don’t want to overdo the granny bit, but I think there’s something unpleasant about lots of elderly, wobbly flesh on show.'
