Ex-Baywatch star Nicole Eggert - back in a red bathing suit - stole the show on Tuesday's edition of ABC's diving competition Splash with an emotional plunge into the water predicated by a speech in which she admitted her hesitance to participate after years of scrutiny over her expanded waistline.

"This is way out of my comfort zone for so many reasons," the Charles In Charge star said. "So here I am going to be in a bathing suit in front of the whole world again, then throw myself off a high platform."
