Candice Swanepoel FALL OVER as she walks catwalk for Givenchy during New York Fashion Week

It must be every model’s worst nightmare to fall over on the catwalk.

And yesterday that nightmare became a reality for Candice Swanepoel who took a serious tumble while walking for Givenchy as part of New York Fashion Week.

The model – who is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret – landed on hands as she strutted her stuff. She’s probably not used to doing the catwalk in clothes!

Ouch - poor Candice

A number of people watching the show rushed to help her and looking rather red faced she managed to get herself up.

She brushed herself down and gave a little embarrassed giggle before moving on.

Following the incident the South African beauty tweeted: “Thank you to who ever picked me up off the runway tonight. left with little scratches but mostly a bruised ego #ohwell'”

Perhaps rather unfortunately the show had a rather star-studded audience, including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West who watched as sister Kendall took part in the show and managed not to fall - phew.

And if this has got you in the mood for some more tumbles - here's the best pop star on stage slip ups.

She's up again
