Despite the fall, Beyoncé barely missed a beat and continued performing the rest of her set.

Afterwards, she begged the crowd: "Don't put it on YouTube!"

Her pleas went unheard and footage appeared across a number of sites and news channels within hours.

One audience member told US magazine People: "Everyone gasped. But she got up right away and acted like nothing happened. I don't even think she missed a word of the song!

"Everyone started cheering her on, because she recovered like a real professional."

Her spokesperson said in a statement: "Beyoncé's fall on stage last night in Orlando during her performance was a mere spot on an otherwise sensational, flawless show."

"It was a case of her coat's hem getting caught in her shoes, but Miss Knowles picked herself right up, without missing a beat, showing to all that she is the best."
