How can I get a bra wire out of my washing machine?

Bra wire has gone through the drum of my AEG LAVAMAT 74950A3 and is not visible. Machine is working fine but have noticed a few small holes in clothes may be a coincidence, the wire has been in there about 2 weeks I guess, only noticed it when I realised the wire was missing. Machine is working fine other than that, maybe a little odd sound at the start of a cotton cycle like a brrrr. My husband is mad, why did you put an underwired bra in the machine, don't you think I've got enough to do etc, etc. If anyone can help I'd be grateful.

Get a new husband, then open the back cover of the machine using a screwdriver, reach in and take the wire out. Make sure the machine is switched of at the mains plug first.
