Kate took to her Instagram grid to post a picture showing her pulling on the one-piece, with the title: "Is everyone's SKIMS underwear like this?"

The clip saw the reality TV star pulling on the "tight" nude bodysuit.

Kate, who went make-up free with her hair pulled up in a bun, said: "I can't breathe" before noting a "camel's hoof" due to the fabric crunching up.

She then confessed: "Can't work out if I've torn the crotch or if there's a pee hole in there.

"If there is a pee hole in there, I can't wear it," before referencing its impact on her private parts.

In her grid caption she then quipped: "I bought @skims undies. Didn’t realise it came crotchless. Who’s actually used the pee hole and does it not get wet? I’m scared.

"I also said it’s a no but don’t really have a choice with what I’m wearing today.

"Wish me and my front bottom good luck."

Kate is one of a tonight.

Her fellow broadcaster Angela Scanlon replied and posted: "It’s a pee hole!!! So we’ve heard."
