In honor of the boy band and girl group theme on this week's episode of Dancing With the Stars, the show welcomed a very fitting guest judge: former DWTS contestant and NSYNC member, Joey Fatone.

Of course, the former boy band member couldn't resist jumping on the dance floor — literally. Fatone danced to a part of the opening routine set to NSYNC's "Tearin' Up My Heart." But things didn't exactly go to plan when the former boyband performed a split jump that lead to him splitting his pants mid-air.

Fantone got called out on the pant split by host Tom Bergeron, who encouraged viewers who had taped the episode to go back and pause on the moment that Fatone jumped in the air. At that point, Fantone confirmed that his pants were, in fact, split. Thankfully the video of the dance has been put up on Youtube, and we skipped right to the infamous moment (at 2:28) and got the screen grabs that show the split in action.

Some astute fans of the ballroom competition show took to Twitter to talk about the wardrobe their malfunction, and they could not contain how hilarious they found the whole situation.

Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
