Not everything went to plan at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony on the Gold Coast on Wednesday night.
Among athletes arrivals and baton passing, there were bare bums, lip syncing accusations and a bored Duchess.
Let’s have a recap, shall we?
LISTEN: The Commonwealth Games are happening and all anyone cares about is a bum…
Before anyone even got to the Games it was chaos
The weather gods really didn’t care that it was the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony – sending Gold Coast strong winds and several downpours throughout the day and evening.
It was so bad that two police officers on motorbikes as part of Prince Charles and Camilla’s police escort crashed their bikes in the rain. Both were taken to hospital, one to be treated for non-life threatening injuries, the other as a precaution, AAP reports.
Getting to the games wasn’t any easier for thousands of ticket-holders, the Courier Mail reports. The extra demand meant some people were forced to wait up to hours for buses to Carrara stadium.
Someone accidentally mooned us all
During Ricki-Lee’s beach-themed performance of Technicolour Love, one dancer accidentally flashed her bare bum to everyone watching at home.
While we don’t know yet what caused the wadrobe malfunction, it looks like she lost her bather bottoms and when she flicked her towel over her shoulders it didn’t come down to cover her like it did for others. So as she bent over to run through a crowd of fellow dancers holding towels, the thousands of people watching saw everything.

Thankfully no one got a good look at her face, so she can wait anonymously for the Twitter world to stop sharing screenshots.

Can't blame Camilla for looking bored.
