A MUM was left red-faced after accidentally mooning the crowd at a parents' sports day race - but has since been asked on hundreds of dates.

Katie Hannaford, 37, said she won't be running a race ever again after the unfortunate mishap last summer.

The mum-of-two, from Basildon in Essex, tripped up and went head-over heels on the grass in the clip - which swiftly went viral.

A year later, Katie reveals she still receives messages from a number of keen male admirers.

While flattered, Katie says she is "single by choice" - and has turned down "hundreds of offers of dates".

She said: "I don't get recognised in public any more, but I still get random messages on Instagram and Facebook most days.

"They're predominantly men – asking how I'm still single, or telling me I have a nice a***.

"I've had some genuinely nice messages too – saying I'm a good sport about it."

Katie's two daughters are clearly not reeling from the embarrassment - with one begging her to appear on her TikTok as - according to her mum - "she thinks I'm famous".

The hilarious clip was originally circulated by Katie herself, who at the time admitted: "When the kids got more at sports day than they were expecting! Haha.

"If you can’t laugh at yourself then what’s life about ay!

"Sorry kiddos and anyone else watching!"

Since then, the proud mum has assured her young girls there won't be a revealing risk of deja vu.

She continued: "I've promised my girls I'll never compete in another adults race again, even in shorts.

"A few weeks ago at my daughter’s dance competition, and there was a parents dance.

"I looked at my daughter like, ‘no I'm not doing it!'."
