BETH DITTO'S SECRET SPANGLY KNICKERS

I was in the Swarovski box at Fashion Rocks alongside junior catwalk superstar Christopher Kane. He had persuaded Beth Ditto to sing for him, (“Britney wouldn’t return our calls,”) and it was one of the most hotly anticipated performances of the evening. Kane had made Ditto a very special frock for the occasion, it was slinky and red and sparkled with thousands of Swarovski crystals. “I made her a sparkly bra and knickers too because she said she might take the dress off at the end,” he revealed. The whole Kane posse was there, his mum, sister Sandra and other sister Tammy as well as various boyfriends and friends. We watched and whooped as Ditto tore the house down (Tammy was shushed for talking too loudly by the next door box). We all wanted to know one thing. Was Beth Ditto going to take her dress off? Sadly we never got to see her special sparkly smalls. She hiked the frock up a few times but only as far as her thighs. Claudia Croft (Pic from Radio 5 Live on Flickr)
