Strictly Come Dancing’s spin off show It Takes Two suffered an awkward blunder on Thursday night after Dianne Buswell accidentally spat on host Janette Manrara.
The ballroom pro, 35, was on the show with her celebrity partner Chris McCausland to chat through their upcoming dance for the return of Musicals Week.
They also discussed what the duo would be wearing and Janette insisted that it would be great for Diane to see a sketch of her costume and find out what inspired it.
Diane and Chris, who are trade at just 1/5 to win the programme having held favouritism since the second week, are set to dance a Quickstep to You’re The Top from the musical Anything Goes.
Upon seeing the drawing, she learned she would be donning a two piece ensemble made up of a white tailored vest and a flowing blue skirt.
‘Oh that’s so cute,’ she excitedly exclaimed, before realising what had happened and quipping: ‘Sorry, I spat on you, so sorry about that, sorry about that!’

Janette then insisted it was fine as she laughed: ‘We’re friends guys, we’re friends!’
As talk returned to the outfit, Diane affirmed: ‘That is really cute, I love it’ and Strictly costume designer Vicky Gill added: ‘We have a chat, everyone says how they feel, what they need to achieve and we’ll finally see something on Saturday night.’
‘Beautiful. It’s a ten from me, Vicky,’ gushed a very pleased Diane.
It comes just after Janette sent a defiant message to Strictly Come Dancing fans on Wednesday as she shrugged off calls for her to be replaced.
Viewers slammed the It Takes Two presenter as they called for Fleur East to be the full-time host, rather than the duo alternating.
But uploading an update to her Instagram Story, Janette shared a message from the studio as she returned to the programme.
She said: ‘Hi team. Guess where I am. It Takes Two, baby. I can’t believe we only have … what two weeks left?
‘Two weeks left of It Takes Two. That flew by, didn’t it? What a series. What a series.’
The champion of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 will lift the glitterball trophy on Saturday December 14, bring the series to an end.

Earlier this week, fans slammed the spin off show’s presenter Janette and even cruelly demanded for her to be axed.
They were left fuming after watching Monday’s episode of It Takes Two which saw Fleur interview Jamie Borthwick and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkis.
The pair were invited on to the show after being eliminated in the dreaded dance-off on Sunday night.
The discussion between the trio covered Jamie’s time on the show and his previous performances and after just missing out on the quarter finals, Jamie and Michelle became emotional.
And it was seeing the teary display on the episode which sparked fans fury.
Many took to social media to praise Fleur’s interviewing skills and demanded that she become the BBC spin off show’s full time presenter, and therefore axing her co-host Janette.
During the show, Fleur played Jamie and Michelle a reel of their best bits from their time in the competition and it brought a tear to everyone’s eye.
As the clip finished, Michelle, who had been fighting back her tears, let them loose before hugging Jamie.
