Whitney Houston's comeback had another awkward moment Sunday, and this one couldn't be blamed on an extra-long gabfest with Oprah Winfrey - the diva experienced a "wardrobe malfunction" while performing on Simon Cowell's UK reality show "The X Factor."

Thankfully for all involved, the incident wasn't X-rated, as Houston's incident involved the back of her dress. However, it was another snag, albeit minor, in Houston's long-awaited comeback, which also included a less-than-stellar "Good Morning America" performance that the diva felt obliged to apologize for.

After serving as a guest mentor to the show's contestants on Saturday, Houston sang her latest single, "Million Dollar Bill," on Sunday's results show. Just over two minutes into the song, a strap at the back of Houston's long silver dress popped open.

While Houston made one brief attempt to adjust the rebellious strap, she quickly returned her full attention to the song, and seemed to take the mishap in stride.

"I sang myself out of my clothes," Houston joked to the audience after the song ended, before going on to discuss the U.K. release of her album "I Look To You," and a scheduled world tour stop in April.

Currently in its sixth season in the U.K., "The X Factor" has been a point of discussion in Cowell's current contract negotiations with Fox, the network that hosts "American Idol." The network has extended an offer of $50 million for Cowell to produce a U.S. version of the British show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
