Strictly star reveals mistake in live routine viewers missed after backstage blunder

Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor has revealed a moment on Saturday night's show that may have gone unnoticed by viewers.

The comedian and her professional dance partner Johannes Radebe were hit with a blunder moments into their live routine, that could have ended very badly.

It resulted in their dance not going as planned, but both stars managed to keep their performance on track - meaning the mishap wasn't noticed.

But Ellie knew something was going on, leaving her panicked she had made a mistake.

It wasn't until after they were on air though that Ellie learned it was a backstage error, and nothing to do with her.

Speaking to It Takes Two host Rylan Clark on Monday, Ellie explained what went wrong - and her relief that she and Johannes managed to carry on.

Speaking about the moment and what happened, she explained: "There was a bit of an audio issue at the beginning of the dance, those of us on the floor couldn't hear the cue. So the beginning of the dance didn't happen as it should have.

"I obviously thought if anyone has done something a bit weird it's me. I spent the whole dance going, 'I've done something wrong, what did I do, what did I do?'.

"At the end I said sorry, and it wasn't until the end when we left Claudia's area that Jojo was like no it wasn't you, we couldn't hear.

"When I heard that I thought I'm really proud how we came out of it. Being on live telly at Blackpool, not knowing where you are and what is happening, I don't think I've been more terrified in my whole life."

Meanwhile, Tyler West also spoke on the show after his exit from Strictly over the weekend.

Tyler had his say about a comment made about him on Saturday night, by Craig Revel Horwood.

Craig was complimenting Will Mellor's hip action during his performance towards the end of the show, when he made a jibe at Tyler.

He said: "There was so much hip content, I think you need to go backstage and teach Tyler a thing or two about that."

Speaking about the moment on Monday, Tyler called it "unnecessary" but brushed it off, as he praised all of the judges.

He said: "I mean, I don't know how necessary it was. I wasn't even showing my hips.

"But you know what? All the judges, they make their comments and I'm so grateful to be able to dance in front of them, and have their comments each week, and work with them on the show.

"They're all amazing in their own right, and it's just part of it, and you take it on board. You grow with it and you try to work harder, and I feel like we left it all there on that dancefloor. So that's all I can ask for."

Strictly Come Dancing returns on Saturday 26 th November at 7.15pm.
