A group of friends are being applauded for how well they handled an awkward TV moment after one of their team members had her wig fall off during filming.
It was after attempting one of the challenges that Michelle's wig decided to betray her and slipped off. Here's that moment in full:
Oops - too late! We filmed it... and then we put it on the television. Sorry! #CrystalMaze
Then it was all hands on deck as the team did what any good friends would do and form an all-important protective circle as the wig was reattached.
Michelle, 23, can be heard screaming "Stop filming!" and "I hope you didn't film that bit!"
She told BuzzFeed News: βI did the first activity, a water one, so originally my wig was glued on but it got wet which meant the glue holding it dissolved.
"I had no clips and no glue to secure it so I literally had to just manage the wig unsecured and I hoped that it wouldnβt come off."
Host Richard Ayoade was all of us being unsure about how to act in such circumstances.
So he chose to do nothing but patiently wait and watch as the team united to properly secure the wig.
"Honestly, it was just so funny to us," Michelle added. "I didnβt know that they were still filming, I thought they had stopped filming so everyone was just laughing."
Well this is awkward.

The Anglia Ruskin university student told BuzzFeed News she was consulted about having the wig debacle included in the episode.
"Production asked me if I was comfortable with it being included in the final edit and there was no pressure at all," Michelle said. "I discussed it with my girls and we just thought it was so funny so I agreed to them keeping it in."
The show's executive producer Neale Simpson said: "We absolutely loved having the London Girls on our show and it's been so amazing seeing how many people enjoyed watching them take on the maze.
"It's testament to their fantastic friendships and brilliant sense of fun that when we asked them if we could show Michelle's mishap they didn't hesitate to say yes!"
The team are now being celebrated online for their friendship and their overall performance on the show.
