Hidden recordings show what Strictly couples were really saying on the dancefloor

When the Strictly Come Dancing couples do their routines, they're always talking to each other throughout.

But over the loud music and audience applause, viewers at home have never been able to hear what they've been saying - until now.

The official Strictly Instagram account has shared a video of the hidden microphone recordings made through last week's routines.

Karen Hauer can be heard saying "we got this baby" to Chris Ramsey when their dance begins, before shouting "come on baby!" when it picked up the pace.

Aljaz Skorjanec says "Hello, shall we?" to Emma Weymouth as their jive routine to Kids In America starts.
