TRACY Grimshaw was forced to relive one of the more awkward moments from her life during a round of TV and radio interviews.

The A Current Affair host appeared on both the Today show and 2DAY FM’s breakfast show this morning ahead of Sunday night’s Logies where she’s the favourite to win the coveted Gold Logie.

And on each program they questioned Grimshaw about the time she was locked out of her hotel room while naked after the Logies in 1998.

“For a long time I didn’t want to talk about it because I was horrified,” Grimshaw told radio hosts Em Rusciano, Ed Kavalee and Grant Denyer.

“I got drunk because that’s what everyone does at the Logies … and I raced back to my room at three o’clock in the morning thinking the girls from hair and make-up were about to walk in to get me ready to do the Today show.

“I pulled the dress off, ripped the jewellery off and raced in to have a shower before they arrived.”

But in her tipsy state, Grimshaw got a bit confused and “mistook the bathroom door for the front door”.

“Suddenly I was naked out in the hallway,” she told the 2DAY FM hosts.

“My hair and makeup was fine but everything else was a bit of a disaster.”

Grimshaw found a spare copy of The Australian newspaper in the hallway and used it to cover herself until help arrived.

During her appearance on the Today show this morning, Grimshaw revealed that the newspaper sent her a special present when the story of her nude disaster was made public.

“The Australian sent me the framed front cover of The Australian with a little plaque saying, ‘To Tracy, from The Australian, the newspaper that covers all your needs.’

“I’ve got it on the wall in my office, it’s been with me since,” the TV presenter said.

Grimshaw told Karl Stefanovic and Georgie Gardner that the whole debacle was James Packer’s fault because he made her drink “10 tequilas” at the Logies afterparty.
