Most awkward New Year’s Eve blunders from Mariah Carey glitch to J-Lo crashing into camera | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

New Year’s Eve has provided some of the most embarrassing live TV moments over the years, with performances from the likes of Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and Frozen star Idina Menzel going catastrophically wrong.

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve has seen many pop stars – who have signed up to entertain revellers from New York City’s Times Square – heading into January red-faced.

The televised event, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, proves that not even megastars can avoid the perils of live TV, with some performers being accused of lip-synching, while others have suffered majorly awkward on-stage slip-ups.

This year, British pop sensation Rita Ora will be hoping to bypass any potential mishaps as she joins Ryan in the Big Apple to welcome in 2024. 

But before the Ritual hitmaker takes to the stage, Express.co.uk has taken a look back at some of the most disastrous celebrity New Year’s Eve blunders.
