'She can take HERS off!' Amy Childs forced to change after Tricia Penrose arrives at fashion show in same daring cutaway dress

By Sarah Bull and Nadia Mendoza


Whoops! Amy Childs and Tricia Penrose arrived at the Pia Michi fashion show last night wearing the same leopard-print cutaway dress


It's one of the most awkward situations a female celebrity can find herself in - another famous face arriving at the same event in the same dress.

And that's exactly what happened to Amy Childs last night, as she arrived at the Pia Michi fashion show wearing the same daring leopard-print cutaway dress as former Heartbeat actress Tricia Penrose.

However, while Tricia was apparently urged to change her outfit, it was Amy who was eventually forced to swap, after the 41-year-old actress was allegedly overheard saying that she had 'been around longer than Amy'.


A source told MailOnline: 'Everyone told Tricia to take it off but she said, "I've been around longer than Amy. I was in Heartbeat for 18 years so she can take hers off!"

'So in the end Amy had to take hers off.'

After the embarrassing faux pas on the red carpet, Amy, 21, later emerged wearing a chic purple gown - a drastically different choice from Tricia's animal-print gown.


Happy enough: Amy looked in relatively good spirits on the red carpet with cousin Harry Derbidge before realising the fashion clash

Amy was joined by her former TOWIE co-star, and cousin, Harry Derbidge at the Pia Michi launch party and catwalk show held at The Millennium Hotel in Grosvenor Square.

Earlier in the day, the pair had been rehearsing ahead of their Let's Dance For Comic Relief performance, which will kick off on Saturday night.

She tweeted: 'Busy day today , rehearsing with @MrHarryDerbidge for #letsdancecomicrelief , then tonight @Piamichi party ...... ;)'

Also making an appearance at last night's event was former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Nicola McLean, who would have stolen the show in her daring low-cut gown if not for Amy and Tricia's fashion face-off.

Posing with her hands on her hips, it was difficult to focus anywhere else other than her cleavage.

While Nicola's dress, a floor-length gown speckled with Dalmatian spots and peacock feathers, had a lot of colourful detail, all eyes were undoubtedly drawn to her chest where her pendant nuzzled.

After the party, Nicola tweeted: 'Great night thanks for having me loved loved loved the dress x'


Thigh's the limit: Katie Price's protégée Amy Willerton shows she was born for red carpets

Katie Price's protégée Amy Willerton, 19, also put in an appearance, busy on her quest to take over the reigns from her infamous mentor as red carpet queen.

Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson showed her fellow female specimens that it's possible to look sexy, while still appearing demure.

The blonde bombshell protected her modesty in a high-neck Grecian gown, instead flaunting a little flesh at the back.

Lizzie Cundy was in keeping with the theme, stepping out in a black sequin dress with a sheer upper bodice slashed to the navel, reminiscent of someone from a Hollywood casino.

Several ladies played it safe in all-black ensembles, with Vanessa Feltz and her daughter also opting for dark shades, alongside Daniella Westbrook and designer Pia Michi herself.
