Heidi Klum reveals embarrassing measure she had to take to pull iconic Halloween costume off before being 'upstaged' by other celebrity

When it comes to Halloween celebrations, no one does it better than Heidi Klum.

Apparently, however, the German model doesn't always find it easy to manoeuvre in her elaborate and often-viral costumes.

And today, she has made a pretty surprising admission about something she was forced to do this year in order to relieve herself, when she opted to dress up as E.T. - despite the same costume also being worn by a fellow celeb...

As well as the spooky soiree that television presenter Klum hosts each year - to which she invites some of the world's biggest names -, the blonde beauty is famed for pulling out all of the stops when it comes to constructing her own costumes.

Last year, she rocked up to her annual party at New York's Hard Rock Hotel dressed as a peacock - herself taking on the role of the blue bird's body, while a multiple-man team were hired to represent its feathers.

And I'm sure we can all remember her legendary 2022 concept - the giant worm?

She also set the internet ablaze when she dressed as Princess Fiona in 2018.

This year, however, it looked as though the former model had been feeling nostalgic, after she turned up to the festivities dressed as everyone's favourite extraterrestrial - literally.

Along with her husband Tom Kaulitz, the pair rocked male and female versions of Stephen King's iconic 90s movie character, E.T.

Complete with a motorised blinking headpiece and glowing fingertip, Klum immediately set tongues wagging, leaving many fans how she's able to get about in such an intricate costume.

Apparently, the Project Runway favourite isn't afraid of answering some of their most-asked questions - including how she's able to use the bathroom.

And astonishingly, Klum has this year revealed she chose to wear a 'diaper' - otherwise known as a nappy - to the star-studded get-together.

Speaking to the New York Times, she admitted: "Maybe I never need to use the diaper, but at least that way I don’t have to think about it."

Discussing the idea, the model also revealed she'd had the outfit planned for almost a year, adding: "They have no genitals. I like the whole idea of, like, we’re all the same.

"I kind of thought about the universe in a different way and I thought E.T. was so cute and how he was wiggling around and all the moments when E.T. got dressed up with a wig and everything so I just thought it would be fun to become E.T. and especially to see two."

We can only imagine how frustrated the Klum must have been therefore, to discover that another huge-name star had the same idea for an outfit this year.

Earlier this week, Grammy-nominated musician Janelle Monáe debuted her own incredible rendition of the much-loved alien on the Halloween episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show.

The singer also some scary snaps on Instagram, where she showed her intricate bodysuit - leading a series of fans to brand her the 'undefeated Halloween champ'.

Other fans took to X to take a guess about how Klum might feel about potentially being 'upstaged' by the 'Make Me Feel' singer.

One X user penned: "I know Heidi Klum was SICK af when Janelle Monae popped out as ET this Halloween."

Another quipped: "Oh I just know Heidi threw a chair when Janelle Monáe revealed their E.T. costume first earlier today lol."

"Kind of gagged over Janelle Monae and Heidi Klum having the same Halloween costumes this year," joked another. "They’re having a diva off."
