It was the wardrobe malfunction that had Dancing With The Stars fans all in a flutter.

But being the good prosecutor that she is, today Nancy Grace has played down the incident, providing evidence that her modesty was kept safe by some trusty ‘breast petals’.

The 51-year-old insists that she didn’t fully expose herself and it was the sticky nipple cover-ups that she was wearing, which protected her chest area.

She also told RadarOnline that the wardrobe department on the hit reality contest were always fully prepared for accidents waiting to happen.

‘I am in full nip denial,’ she told told the website.

‘Breast petals and an industrial strength bra…plus a sewn-in corset. The fabulous DWTS wardrobe crew is extremely proactive and would never let an accident happen!’

‘I’m a considering a turtle neck for my next dance!’ she told the website.

Nancy’s dance partner Tristan MacManus says that he was completely unaware of the malfunction.

Dip and slip: The star’s dress first slipped down during a dip move with her partner Tristan MacManus on last night’s show

Last night it appeared that the legal broadcaster suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when her dress slipped down mid way through her energetic quickstep with Tristan, revealing a little too much of her chest area.

The star was being dipped by partner Tristan, when a mishap occurred, leading to ABC to cut away to an audience shot.

‘On the European version that would be perfectly fine,’ joked host Tom Bergeron, while judge Bruno Tonioli told Nancy that her performance was ‘a bit top heavy at times.’

Unfortunately, her clingy brown dress then slipped down again, as she and Tristan waited for the judges verdict.

However, Nancy was quick to deny there had been a costume slip.

‘Tonight, when we were doing our hopscotch portion of our dance, there was a little bit of movement but it did not rise to a wardrobe malfunction,’ she told Us Weekly after the show.

‘We have taken every precaution known to men in this dress right here,’ Nancy added.

‘I’m talking industrial size precaution. There may have been, as Tristan said, a little bit of jiggling but there was absolutely not a wardrobe malfunction.’

However, the star did get an impressive score of eight for her dance from Len Goodman who said her performance was a ‘breath of fresh air.’
