It's the wardrobe malfunction to end them all.

Rear window: Italian swimmer Flavia  Zoccari's skinsuit splits open during the  Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy,  yesterday.

Italian Olympic swimmer Flavia Zoccari was forced to sit out a championship race at the Mediterranean Games yesterday after her bathing costume burst open in a very unfortunate place.

Flavia, 22, was wearing the controversial £318 top-of-the-line Jaked J01 swimsuit when disaster struck at the Games in Pescara, Italy..

She burst into tears as she was forced to stand down from her race.

Jaked boasts that the full-body swimsuit - complete with back hinge - is 'more than skin'.
