''I am never getting on the red carpet in a dress with a zip.''

Kate Winslet has revealed she will never get on any red carpet in dresses with zips because she almost suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at a recent 60 birthday party in London when the full-length zip to her dress snapped!

The 'Titanic' star, who is married to businessman Ned Rocknroll, explained to Vogue.co.uk:

"My husband, Ned, puts me into the dress at home no problem, but when everyone started to move into be seated for dinner I needed a wee, so I said to Ned, "Go on I'll see you in there".''I unzipped it from the bottom, sat down, had a wee - no problem - stood up, zipped it back up, and the zip came off in my hand.

''I was stood there, knowing everyone is pretty far away and I can't f***ing move. The dress opens all the way - the whole f***ing thing! I'm standing there in my knickers and heels, basically wearing a black cape!''

The 39-year-old also told the publication: ''All I could do was stand there, look at myself in the mirror and crack up laughing. I am never getting on the red carpet in a dress with a zip.''
