Even Simon Cowell isn't immune to a wardrobe malfunction.

No, it wasn't that one of his famous tight white T-shirts finally ripped. During Saturday night's episode of The X Factor UK, Cowell was seen sitting on a couch alongside Spice Girls Mel B and Emma Bunton, and eagle-eyed viewers were fairly convinced that he had left his pants unzipped, revealing his privates to the world.

But don't worry -- it was just Cowell's laid-back position on the couch that caused his toe to be mistaken for, well, a different body part. Naturally, the gaffe quickly became immortalized on Twitter.

Makes you reconsider the power of sitting cross-legged, no?

Sadly, the 55-year-old TV judge has yet to comment on the situation. That may be because he and wife Lauren Silverman were out having a lovely evening at the Shooting Star Chase Ball in London, England, while the episode aired.

The British entrepreneur looked quite dapper in a navy suit at the event, while Silverman stunned in a gorgeous purple gown. Thankfully, no wardrobe malfunctions occurred for either one of them in real-life.


Cowell also judges America's Got Talent, and earlier this month, he compared Grace VanderWaal's win on the show to Kelly Clarkson's victory during the first season of American Idol. Hear more in the video below.
