During a visit to Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, the red-haired beauty was embarrassed when her dress revealed her panties, panties and buttocks.
While we were sharing the blunder on social media, we saw a short video of Helen walking on a cruise ship.
Following her Marilyn Monroe moment, Helen advised, “Never wear a dress to a air walk.”
Seconds later, a strong gust of wind caused chaos and blew Helen’s dress up, completely exposing her black panties.
Luckily, the content creator was also wearing skin-colored tights, but the shock was immediately evident on her face.
Helen desperately tried to pull down her dress, to protect her modesty, while the tourists around her also turned in disbelief.
Although Helen tried her best to keep the dress down, she couldn’t help but giggle when her dress flew up again, but this time much higher.
Not only were the bystanders in hysterics at the time, but Helen also noted, “My father in the background was trying not to look.”
Helen also wore a pair of ‘chub rub’ shorts, which she described as ‘life-saving’.
These bargains, available from Primark, will not only prevent your skin from chafing, but they’ll also give you some extra protection in awkward situations like this.
But as a result of the blunder, Helen confessed: “I will wear pants next time.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @helenbabs75has clearly caused a lot of surprise, because in one day the video was already viewed 159,200 times.
