LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Wardrobe malfunctions continue to plague 'Good Morning America' as Eva Pilgrim becomes the latest one to face it during a segment of 'GMA3'. The 40-year-old host recently bore the brunt of an unwarranted incident and had to switch clothes to continue the broadcast. To deal with the awkward situation Pilgrim reportedly sought help from a co-star in the studio.
As it turns out, Tory Johnson, a lifestyle contributor to 'GMA' and the host of the 'Deals & Steals' segment, came to Pilgrim's rescue by providing the host with a blue tank top after she spilled coffee over the one she was earlier wearing. Johnson's presence eased Pilgrim's inconvenience as she managed to save her from getting embarrassed on live TV.

How did Tory Johnson help Eva Pilgrim on 'GMA3'?
During Wednesday, July 26, broadcast of 'GMA3: What You Need to Know', Pilgrim revealed during the 'Deals & Steals' shopping segment that she had a slight problem with her top earlier in the day. Johnson showed her a "soft" tank top that Pilgrim admitted was perfect for "every body type." She immediately stood up and said, "Um, I’m gonna try to snag one of these later because I spilled coffee all over myself!" Later that day, Pilgrim shared a selfie from her car, thanking her colleague who came through to save her from a wardrobe malfunction. She was wearing a blue tank top, which looked similar to the one shown in the 'GMA' segment earlier. "Just me wearing my deals and steals skinny tank," Pilgrim captioned the Instagram story, adding, "I spilled coffee on my top this AM [facepalm emoji] so grateful @toryjohnson had a spare today!!!"
