Strictly Come Dancing studio falls silent after shock comment from John Whaite’s friend

A cheeky innuendo on Saturday night's BBC Strictly Come Dancing show left fans shocked in silence.

The live show saw former The Great British Bake Off star and winner John dancing with Johannes Radebe again.

Then after their performance, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly interviewed one of John's friends in the audience.

Shirley, who had been a dinner lady at John's school, said: "Oh my God, it was so amazing!"

She then said: "Jeez, Woah, I'm wet..."

Shirley quickly added, to much hilarity as the audience fell silent: "...with the sweat!" reports Birmingham Live.

Whaite and Johannes Radebe danced the Charleston to Milord by Edith Piaf and their routine ended with former Bake Off winner Whaite pushing a pie into his dance partner's face.

Motsi Mabuse praised their energy and character, while Anton Du Beke simply described it as "Just amazing".

Craig Revel Horwood agreed the routine was "amazing" and took him back to his days dancing at the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

Whaite scored 38, rising to the top of the leaderboard.

Judi Love missed the show after testing positive for coronavirus, but will return to the programme next week after her period of self-isolation ends.

Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday on BBC One.
