Toyah Willcox took an awkward swipe at her fellow Strictly star Chris McCausland in an uncomfortable moment on Strictly: It Takes Two.
It came as Toyah was being interviewed alongside her pro partner Neil Jones after getting the boot on Sunday night's show.
Toyah was eliminated after being in the dance off against Paul Merson, and made a pit stop at the spin-off show tonight to reflect on her time in the competition.
Host Fleur East asked her: "You are such a tightknit group as well this year, do you have any advice or tips for the other celebs?"
Toyah laughed and started clapping, before pointing at the camera and shouting: "If you don't want to do a dance off, get rid of Chris!"
She then cackled and fell into Neil's lap while Neil and Fleur looked on and laughed awkwardly.

Fleur then looked off camera and grimaced while Toyah then clarified: "You are all going to have to face a dance off."
Attempting to move the conversation on, Neil then quipped: "I think she has chosen her winner already."
Chris has proved a favourite on the show so far and he and partner Dianne Buswell scored 30 points at the weekend for their Wayne's World inspired performance.
Toyah's surprising comment did not going unnoticed by viewers watching at home, who took to social media to react.

One wrote on X: "Was Toyah trying to throw Chris under the bus!!"
A second chipped in: Was it panic I saw on their faces when Toyah said ‘get rid of Chris if you don’t want to do a dance off ‘ …little does she realise Chris is a 100x better dancer than she waViwVis and he is there on merit."
A third fumed: "That was such a nasty dig Toyah just made at Chris. Malicious, vicious and jealous. Good riddance you old bag!"
And a fourth said: "Toyah was a bit mean about Chris on it takes two."
On a lighter note, Neil was full of praise for Toyah as he was asked to give her some parting words.
He said: " See you soon, you are not getting rid of me. You have got me for life now.
He continued: "Toyah has been brilliant. We have laughed so much, we have had so much fun and we have had some really great conversations as well."
Strictly continues on Saturday night at 6.20pm on BBC One.
