Fox debunks 'Dance' 'flashing incident'

The Fox network has reportedly debunked the rumours that a contestant accidentally exposed her vagina during a broadcast of So You Think You Can Dance? this week.

The woman, known only as 'Contestant 22036', was featured on a montage clip of contestants that made it through to the semi-final round in Las Vegas. After she received the news, the female participant fell to the ground and allegedly revealed herself.

The network has released two photographs that show that the woman had worn nude-coloured dance gear, TV Guide reports.

Fox's standard and practices department had previously said that the rumoured exposure was "a crease in the young lady's panties", while judge Nigel Lythgoe joked about the situation, saying: "None of us knew she did this. The show was always designed to expose talent, but not in this way".

It was reported earlier that panellist Mary Murphy said that she wanted Tom Cruise to appear on Dance.
