Creator reveals embarrassing wardrobe malfunction from @gracebeverley
The creator starts by expressing her mortification, then explains that she wore a maternity support belt for her back pain during her commute across London. She cuts to a wider shot to reveal that a flap on the back of the belt was sticking out above her low-rise jeans, making it look like she was wearing a massive thong.

Transcript excerpt
I'm fucking mortified. Right. For context, I've just done my entire commute across London looking like this. I best put this jumper on for my own modesty, but I've been having back issues, so I put my little barbells on for support. Unfortunately, there's a flap at the back of it. I just caught this in the mirror. It looks like I just come into the world's biggest thong. That was out. That was deeply upsetting.
