Claudia Winkleman was forced to apologise for some 'fruity language' on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing, over something Tony Adams said in response to the judges' comments.

Twitter went wild for Tony and, thinking they clocked what he said, one fan tweeted: "Did Tony Adams just say oh s**t? lol," with another quipping: "let tony adams say f**k!
