Strictly Come Dancing star John Whaite has revealed that he told the backstage crew not to talk to him over the weekend.
John, 32, and his professional partner Johannes Radebe were the last couple to dance on Saturday night and performed an epic Argentine Tango.
The duo appeared on Monday's episode of Strictly - It Takes Two to chat to Rylan about their amazing routine and their upcoming dance in the quarter final.
When Rylan suggested it can be both a blessing and a curse to dance last, John replied: "I knew we were last up and I thought, 'we've got to give it everything'.
"Not only does the dance command it, but being last on the dance floor, you have to do it."
Turning to Johannes, John continued: "So backstage when Summer and Billy were fiddling with us, I just said, 'I'm sorry guys I'm not gonna speak to ya, it's nothing personal but I just need to get in the zone'.
Mimicking John, Rylan joked: "Just don't talk to me!"
"Just fiddle and don't talk!" John replied laughing, before adding to Johannes: "We just got into character, didn't we?"
Elsewhere in the chat, Johannes praised his 'perfectionist' partner and said their hard work is starting to 'pay off'.
"It fills me with pride and joy but that's because John works and he's a perfectionist and I love it!" Johannes said.
"He's that hard on himself so I don't even have to do much!" the 34-year-old dancer continued.
"But we've worked really, really hard and that's what we do every single week, we try and just come through and just own what we do, and it's starting to pay off."
This coming weekend, John and Johannes will be performing to Sister Sledge's hit song We Are Family, and John teased he will be 'head-to-toe in sequins'.
Strictly - It Takes Two airs weekdays at 6:30pm on BBC2.
