Susanna Reid was left stunned today after co-star Ranvir Singh read off her autocue script introducing Strictly just Craig Revel-Horwood to Good Morning Britain today.
Host Susanna, 50, took issue with the suggestion that Craig had called Ranvir "dreadful" the last time they spoke.
Reading out today's line-up, Ranvir said: "And last time he was on, he called me 'dreadful'... I can't believe you're making me read this out! Acid-tongued judge Craig, though he was actually lovely to me behind the scenes, is here to reveal what we expect from Strictly this year. The tours are back on this year, which is exciting!"
When the cameras returned to the studio, Ranvir turned to Susanna and asked: "He didn't call me dreadful, did he Susanna?"
Susanna exclaimed: "He didn't! I don't know who wrote that - that's very mischievous! Because I think what he said was that you were hard done by with the Jive. But your ballroom dancing was a pure dream! And your Jive was full of fun and verve!"
But Ranvir joked: "That's what you're saying - he didn't say that, did he? I mean, I haven't spoken to him since so we'll see. That'll be fun!"
But Susanna continued to insist: "I don't think that he's ever called you dreadful! He praised you to the hills!"
Ranvir responded: "He might have done... anyway! We're glad to have him on the show!"
The 43-year-old wowed during her time on Strictly last year with partner Giovanni Pernice, but narrowly missed out on the final after landing in the semi-final dance-off with Jamie Laing.
Bill Bailey and Otu Mabuse triumphed in the 18th series and ended up being the couple to hold the Glitterball.
