60 Minutes presenter Tara Brown suffers a VERY unfortunate wardrobe malfunction as her top bursts open while she's interviewing a 9/11 survivor

She's the Channel Nine journalist with a knack for hard-hitting exposés. 

But 60 Minutes reporter Tara Brown exposed a lot more than she bargained for on Sunday night when she suffered a rather unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

The front of her brown turtleneck sprung open while she was interviewing 9/11 survivor Pasquale Buzzelli in a pre-recorded segment.

Whoops! 60 Minutes reporter Tara Brown exposed a lot more than she bargained for on Sunday night when she suffered a rather unfortunate wardrobe malfunction

Her top featured a line of clasps that ran from her neck down to her bust. 

Unfortunately, several of these clasps became unhooked, revealing a glimpse of her chest and nude-coloured bra. 

Brown, 53, didn't appear to notice her fashion faux pas.

Wardrobe malfunctions are commonplace in television, with The Block host Scott Cam suffering his own unfortunate gaffe just a few months ago.

During an episode of The Block in October, viewers noticed Scott had accidentally left his fly undone as he delivered the judges' feedback during the room reveals. 

'Scotty Cam at his finest... fly undone and all #TheBlock,' one viewer tweeted.

Another added: 'Did anyone else notice that Scotty's fly is undone?'

'Did the editors not see Scotty's fly undone?' a third commented.  

The 59-year-old subsequently brushed off the gaffe during an interview with Karl Stefanovic and Sylvia Jeffreys on the Today show.  

'My grandfather used to say to me when I was a young bloke, "Do you have a licence to sell hot dogs?" And I said, "No, why?" He said, "Well, your stand's open,"' Scott said.

'My cameraman and executive producer came up to me - we'd done about 10 minutes or eight minutes into the Sunday night studio session - and he said, "Your fly's down." I went, "Ah, jeez!"' he added.  

Poking fun: 'Scotty Cam at his finest... fly undone and all #TheBlock,' one viewer tweeted
