She revealed that the incident happened during morning drop off, where, on a normal day, she made sure to make a good impression by always looking presentable with some makeup, a cute outfit, and her hair done. However, on this day, she slipped up.

"This morning, we were a little late and had to rush. I didn't put the right dress on, I put this one on, with the hole in it, a few buttons missing and a safety pin on it. I didn't have time to put cream on my heels, I've got the driest heels ever, if I don't put cream on my feet, it looks as though I dipped my feet in cement."

Pam, who played the ever-polished Gail October on Rhythm City, said even her attempt to put on lipstick was not up to standard; however, she planned to quickly drop her son off and dash before her crush spotted her - but that was not the case.

"My son needed help with something in the boot, I had to get out of the car. Who comes to park next to me? Mr Cutie Pie. Today of all days. I'm wearing slippers, I've got a hole in my dress, and I didn't put my lipstick on properly."
