Craig Revel Horwood left viewers in hysterics after nearly swearing on live TV during Saturday's (October 10) episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
The long-serving judge made the slip-up while chatting with new host Emma Willis, who asked if he was pulling his "Paso face."
Revel Horwood replied: "No, just my resting...face."
He quickly caught himself and added: "I nearly said something nasty.
"BBC One darling."
Fans were quick to react online, with one Reddit user commenting: "Jajajajajaj Craig."
Revel Horwood has been a judge on Strictly since it first started back in 2004.
Strictly fans criticise Shaun Wright-Phillips’ week 3 performance
The slip-up comes after Strictly viewers were left unimpressed by Shaun Wright-Phillips’ week three performance.
The former footballer and his professional partner, Alexis Warr, finished ninth after weeks one and two with a combined score of 40.
The pair performed a Quickstep to I’m a Believer by The Monkees during week three of the competition on Saturday (October 10) night.
The dance earned the pair a score of 15 from judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke.
Strictly fans were extremely critical of Shaun and Alexis' week three performance, taking to Reddit to share their thoughts.
One viewer, posting on r/strictlycomedancing, commented: "Oh dear.
"Idk if this is too mean, but he dances like he’s taken too many footballs to the head.
"Bless him, I can see he’s trying."
Another viewer commented: "Emergency services on their way after a terrible car crash."
This person said: "Well, that was, um. An attempt."
Despite the criticism, some praised his enthusiasm, saying: "Well at least he looks like he's having fun, and we do love someone who gives his all!"
A second person posted: "Bless Shaun. He tried."
