Former Neighbours star Nicky Whelan almost suffers a very embarrassing wardrobe malfunction and exposes her crotch in lace gown

Nicky Whelan left little to the imagination as she attended the Last Chance for Animals’ 40th Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The Neighbours star, 43, showed off her incredible figure as she arrived to the event in a lace sheer dress.

But the actress almost suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as her dress featured a very high thigh split which almost exposed her crotch.

Nicky’s revealing off-the-shoulder frock also had matching gloves and a draped train.

The actress completed her look with a pair of high black heels and statement silver earrings.

She tied her long blonde locks into a high bun and oozed Hollywood glamour with a red lip and blush.

Nicky’s showstopping arrival comes after she recently took her new romance to the red carpet.

The Neighbours star posed up a storm alongside Steven Hiles at RIXX Eyewear’s 8th birthday at Bar Bambi in Melbourne last month.

She was all smiles as she cuddled up to the tattooed bar manager from Sydney.

The couple were potted getting up close and personal outside Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood earlier this year.

The pair appeared completely engrossed in each other, sharing intimate moments that didn’t go unnoticed by onlookers.

Nicky and Steven are understood to have reportedly been going strong after sharing their first photo together to social media in December last year.

Nicky was previously linked to actor Frank Grillo but they called it quits on their relationship after dating for about 18 months.

In November, Frank was asked by a photographer outside West Hollywood restaurant Craig’s if he was dating the Aussie actress, and he said: ‘No, that’s over. I’m single.’

Nicky married former NFL player Kerry Rhodes in October 2017, but they separated six months later.

The blonde beauty famously played the role of Pepper Steiger in Neighbours from 2006 until 2007.

The actress went on to carve out a career for herself in Los Angeles, and has starred in movies such as Hall Pass and The Wedding Ringer.
