Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke was unaware he was being filmed during Saturday’s live show on BBC One (October 11).
The third week of performances saw 13 celebrities take to the dancefloor after Apprentice star Thomas Skinner was eliminated from the competition last Saturday (October 4) alongside professional Amy Dowden.
Soap star Stefan Dennis has been compelled to withdraw from this week’s live programme after becoming unwell, leaving one less performance than expected.
Following Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and dance pro Karen Hauer’s Lion King-themed performance to ‘I Always Wanted A Brother’, from the movie Mufasa, the duo spoke to host Claudia Winkleman in the studio about their routine.

However, when the camera cut back to the judging panel to give their scores, co-host Tess Daly had to inform Anton they were on camera as the judge chatted away, unaware he was being filmed live.
The exact details of Anton’s conversation with Tess remain unclear, but the dancer could be heard saying: “Is that too much? I can’t help myself.”
Tess quickly interjected by putting her hand on Anton and stating, “We’re on,” and nodding in the direction of the camera.
“Sorry,” Anton responded as he abruptly turned around to face the camera, and the pair both burst out laughing.
“We were chatting,” Anton confirmed as Tess continued to smile while introducing Lewis Cope.

Strictly fans were quick to point out the blunder, with one person writing: “Oh Anton #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing”, followed by a crying emoji.
A second joked: “‘Poppy why are you an Anton fan?’ Here’s your answer x #strictly.”
A third also chimed in: “Anton’s mouth scares me #Strictly.”
It was a fierce competition in the ballroom on Saturday, with former Emmerdale star Lewis and Katya topping the leaderboard with 37 points following their thrilling Paso Doble.
Amber and Nikita were close behind with 35 points, and Harry and Karen were in third place.
Meanwhile, Ross and Jowita finished at the bottom following their Thunderbirds-themed Paso Doble, scoring 19 points from the judges.
