Sian Welby and Ashley James’ dresses were left stuck together on stage after This Morning took home the Best Daytime award at the National Television Awards on Tuesday.
The presenters had to slowly walk away, hand in hand, unable to sort out the clothing mishap in front of the live audience at The O2.
Ashley, 39, shared a clip of the funny moment on her Instagram Stories, writing: ‘@sianwelby went on stage and ended up staying together. We had to walk away slowly together.’
The former Made In Chelsea star looked stunning in a black strapless Karen Millen dress with an embellished neckline and added a huge white cape to her look for extra drama.
Sian, 40, meanwhile, stunned in a black, sparkling semi-sheer dress with cut-out detailing at the waist.
The pair joined Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard as Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary presented on stage on Friday.

Elsewhere on the evening, Alan Carr broke down in tears as he was awarded the special recognition gong.
The comedian was given the prestigious honor for his 20-year TV career, with even the star himself joking that he should have known there would be a surprise after being given a front row seat at the ceremony.
Alan learned he would receive the honor thanks to an appearance by his good friend Amanda Holden and his Celebrity Traitors co-star Paloma Faith.
The performance was a huge hit with viewers, who praised it as ‘one of the grittiest things they had ever seen’.
During his speech, Alan said: ‘This is how fat I am, it wasn’t until Paloma came out that I realized it was me.
“I should have realized that when they put me in the front row, I usually sit in the back with the Naked Attraction people.”
