WHAT goes on tour stays on tour right? Well it did until now. These are the top 10 things we overheard in the toilets at the Melbourne Cup.

IF YOU want to find an Australian celebrity at the Melbourne Cup there is only one place you should be heading: the exclusive ‘Birdcage’ enclosure.
The various corporate marquees are hosting the likes of Lady Kitty Spencer (that’s Princess Diana’s niece for the uninitiated), international DJ David Guetta, Millie Mackintosh, Chris and Rebecca Judd, Megan Gale and more Bachelor/Bachelorette stars than you can poke a stick at.
And the one place that brings the celebs together with the non-celebs? The ladies toilets.
It’s where semi-famous faces jostle for mirror space, women go into the toilet cubicles together (moral support is very important, right?) and wardrobe malfunctions are addressed.
There’s a group of women akin to a SWAT team who are there to make sure the toilets are always stocked with paper, so an A-lister doesn’t have to suffer the indignity of hollering under the cubicle wall to ask if her neighbour can spare a square.
So because we are creeps, we decided to spend a bit of time in the loos and make a list of the top 10 things we overheard.
1. “I am pretty sure I just split my underpants clean in two.”
2. “Ugh, I am SO over drinking champagne.”
3. “My Hollywood tape is stuck to my nipple and I’m too scared to rip it off … what if my whole nipple comes off?”
4. “I’m sick of my dress … do you want to swap?”
5. “Babes, your skirt is tucked into your underpants.”
6. “Does my bum look big in this dress? Oh well …. too late …. I’m here.”
7. “I think I’m going to spew. Yep, I’m definitely going to spew. I’ll meet you back at the Lavazza marquee.”
8. “I just saw that Sasha from The Bachelorette. I think he’s into me.”
9. “Is this Cup Day or Derby Day?”
10. “I just dropped my sunglasses into the toilet.”
