Vicky Gill joined Scott Mills on the series' official podcast back in 2018, and revealed that many of the outfits worn by the male contestants and professionals feature an all-in-one design, with a shirt sewn into a pair of pants.
"See I just didn't realise that they are really smart trousers, and a very smart shirt but you step into the trousers and pull the shirt around you like a onesie," he revealed. "There's things like - I mean I shouldn’t really reveal things but you know, people have been on live with pins still in the hem and things like that, and then we've clocked it you know and the eyes go wild and you think 'Oh my goodness there is pins in that person's hem,'" Vicky confessed.
