STRICTLY Come Dancing has a member of staff whose job it is to check that the male stars don’t have their flies undone before going on stage.

Former Strictly star Scott Mills revealed the bizarre job, which is aimed to stop any awkward wardrobe malfunctions on the live BBC show.

He told the Mirror: “There was a man just to check that my fly was not undone.”

“But imagine on your first show if your fly was undone, on the first dance.

“The make-up artist will do final checks a bit before you go down the stairs. Then a man was like, ‘Just checking your flies’.

“Wow – is that your job?!”

Scott, 44, appeared on Strictly back in 2014 and was partnered with Joanne Clifton – he came in 11^th place.

Strictly is well known for its risqué costumes and the outfits are often a hot topic of debate.

Kate Silverton recently revealed she was having shoes specially made for her.

She told the Mail: "I'm having to have special shoes made for me because Strictly didn't have any big enough. At 14, I was already a shoe size eight and, while my school friends delighted in wearing the latest styles, I was still in Clarks Classics or — horror of horrors — boys' shoes!"

However, 48-year-old Kate – who has a six-year-old daughter, Clemency, and a four-year-old son, Wilbur with husband Mike Heron – is excited about the  costumes.

She said: "Earlier this week, I tried on a costume. It was very short, like wearing a swimsuit. When I put it on I thought: 'This is how I am. This is how I look. Embrace it.'

“I'm 48. I've had two children in my 40s. My body has actually served me really well."
