Miranda Cosgrove Recalls Embarrassing Moment from OG 'iCarly' Where Her Bra Insert Fell Out During Filming (Exclusive)

"It flew through the air and they yelled, 'Cut.' And nobody really knew what happened. I knew, of course," Miranda Cosgrove exclusively tells PEOPLE

Miranda Cosgrove is looking back on a relatable, yet "really embarrassing," moment from her youth.

While filming the original iCarly series, the 30-year-old actress tells PEOPLE she had an on-set mishap that involved a chicken cutlet bra insert.

"When I was maybe probably 13, I had to jump on a trampoline for one of the web show things. And at the time, I put something in the bra of what I was wearing because I wanted to look like I had bigger boobs," the Despicable Me actress recalls. "I was jumping on the trampoline and one of them flew out. It was a little thing, I don't even remember what. It was a cutlet or some little thing. ... It flew through the air and they yelled, 'Cut.' And nobody really knew what happened. I knew, of course."All the Celebrities You Forgot Appeared on 'iCarly'

Afterward, Cosgrove was "running around looking for it." But her costars were also investigating the situation, attempting to figure out what had actually happened.

"I found it and I think I stuck it in my pocket or something. And Nathan [Kress] at the time kept saying, 'What was that? What flew through the air? What was that?' He would not let it go because he just wanted to figure it out, and he didn't have any idea what it was," she continues. "And I think Jennette [McCurdy]knew. I feel like she was like, 'Oh, God.' But it was just so embarrassing and I'll never forget it."

It wasn't until maybe "six months ago" or so that the "Kissin U" singer finally brought it up again with Kress, 30, and disclosed what had actually happened.

"I was telling the story and Nathan was like, 'I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't remember that,'" she recalls. "But it was literally one of my most embarrassing moments on set. ... A whole crew of people and a cutlet flying through the air wasn't my best moment." 

iCarly aired for five seasons on Nickelodeon between 2007 to 2012. Several years after the popular series concluded, Paramount+ premiered the iCarly revival in June 2021, starring most of the original cast.

The new iteration, which sees Cosgrove's titular Carly Shay navigating life as an adult after being a social media sensation in her youth, is currently in its third season.

Stepping back into the role was familiar territory for Cosgrove, who feels she's "a lot like the character Carly in real life."

"I'm so similar to her, there aren't a lot of differences. But one of the main differences would just be, I think she's even more positive and kind than me," she says. "I feel like when she meets people and if someone does something bad to her, she, for a long time, tries to believe that they're good and that they're not actually that bad until she finally realizes and turns. So she's just even more optimistic."

In teasing what's to come on the revival, the School of Rock actress hints at a major moment that will occur in the upcoming finale. "I'm excited for people to see the rest of the third season. I think the finale episode is going to really shock people, because there's a question people have been asking the entire time since the show started that has never really been answered," she reveals. "And it gets answered in the finale."

Cosgrove also does "hope" that the story can continue beyond season 3. "I don't even know if there is going to be a fourth, so I'm waiting to see what happens," she adds. 

Good times all around

 Happy Friday everyone! Here’s the recent news! 🥰 plus pictures! 💗 Miranda Cosgrove is weighing in on fan reaction to Carly and Freddie making their relationship official on iCarly. In season 3 of Paramount+'s revival series, the two friends finally confessed their feelings for each other, putting years of longing and questions of "will they, won't they" behind them as they went public with their romance.

"It felt really good to actually see Carly and Freddie be together," Cosgrove told ET during a visit to the New York City office. "When I read the script, I was like, 'Sixteen years, finally it's happening,' So it was a little bit of pressure though because Nathan and I really wanted to make sure it delivered because people waited for so long. But it was a big relief when the episode came out and it seems like people really enjoyed it, so that was awesome."

The actress and executive producer shared that Carly and Freddie's kiss wasn't originally in the script and that it was actually improvised, making the moment all the more memorable for fans. 

"When we're making iCarly, the writers are always on set and they come over and they'll throw out ideas and we'll do different things almost every take," she explained. "So it's not pure improvisation because the writers are coming up with different ideas and throwing them at us but it keeps us on our toes and it's really fun filming that way. And we never know what's going to end up in the final cut, so the very last take of the scene with Carly and Freddie finally professing their love to each other. The very last take ended up being the one that ended up on the show -- and it was the only take where Freddie goes '5, 4, 3...' and Carly kisses him."

Because of the amount of time that's passed, Cosgrove felt the 16-year wait for "Creddie" to work out was worth the wait.

"I think it does make sense for Carly and Freddie because, in the original show, Freddie has a crush or loves Carly from the very beginning. And even though he's her best friend, and Carly loves him back, she doesn't really see him that way," she said. "And it kind of feels like throughout the whole series, it was just the wrong timing, like Carly either loved Freddie and Freddie is married, or Freddie loved Carly and Carly doesn't see him that way. Like, it's just never perfect. This really felt like it was the moment when they were both at the right places in their lives and could finally go for it."

In the current third season of the revival, which drops new episodes every Thursday on Paramount+, adulting continues to be complicated for Carly and her friends. Carly and Freddie struggle to redefine their relationship, a.k.a #Creddie; Spencer seeks a return to his roots; and Harper's reunion with an old rival leads to an unexpected outcome. 

"One of my favorite things about getting to be a part of iCarly for all these years is that people will come up to me and say, 'I grew up with you,' and when I made the original show, I literally grew up making the show and now I'm making it as an adult. So, when people come up to me and say, 'I watched it when I was little and now, I'm watching it again as an adult,' it's crazy to think that it was a part of their lives and that people really enjoyed it," Cosgrove said. "Obviously it's a huge part of my life. It just feels really good. It's also almost hard to fully wrap my mind around that it always makes my day and makes me feel good when people say that."

She went on to say that she and her castmates, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress, "feel so lucky that we got to relive this experience together." "They're like my family. They're like two of my closest friends. So, to get to go through the same thing again, but as adults and have people watching the show again, I appreciate it so much," Cosgrove praised. "The fans have stuck with this show for so long. And yeah, it's just it's been a great experience throughout my life."The 30-year-old actress acknowledged she didn't think it was a possibility for her to step into Carly's shoes again, let alone play her as an adult. When asked how long she foresaw her playing the character, Cosgrove left it up to fate.

"You never know where life is gonna take you. I could see myself playing Carly as long as people are enjoying watching the revival, but I also don't want to overstay our welcome," she said, "and I feel like people have been so nice about it and really responded well, so I want to make sure that we don't do it for too long, but we ended on the perfect note." 

While there's no end date in sight for this iCarly revival, Cosgrove admitted she's run through the gamut (and then some) playing as Carly, but she had some ideas for new things she'd like to do should it receive a fourth season.

"I've definitely dressed up as pretty much everything for the show. It's hard to even come up with anything new. I would love to do more sketches on the show when we come back because we don't really do as much of that on the new series as we did in the original. I'd love to get to do some more of that," Cosgrove said. "I was a farm girl [in] the original one and that was always really fun. I'd love to reprise that and I love to come up with some new things. It's just fun getting to play a character that's so crazy and silly and herself and doesn't care about [anything]. It's an easy character to play because it's a lot like me in real life. I'm just having a good time."
