Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor apologised to her professional dance partner Johannes Radebe after their dance routine in Blackpool - now she has revealed the reason why.
The pair were hit with a backstage blunder moments into their live routine on the BBC show on Saturday night. 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. However, 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, reports The Mirror. 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.
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."
