The stars of the popular TV show “Strictly Come Dancing” were reportedly in fits of laughter during filming due to an unintentional innuendo from actress Alex Kingston. Her colleague George Clarke shared the amusing incident in a recent podcast episode.
Alex, 62, renowned for her performances on ER and Doctor Who, joined this year’s lineup of contestants on the BBC program. Her debut on the dance floor was featured in a pre-recorded launch show that aired a couple of weekends ago, having been recorded in the Strictly studio days before broadcast.
During the show, hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman introduced the contestants, engaging them in conversation. It was revealed that an interaction with Alex, which was not aired, had everyone laughing uproariously at the time.
George, 25, recollected the incident on a recent episode of the Useless Hotline podcast, praising Alex’s unintentional humor and charm. He described a moment when Alex’s response to a question from Tess or Claudia led to a hilarious misunderstanding, leaving everyone in stitches.
The source disclosed that Alex’s unexpected innuendo brought joy to the studio, although the full story couldn’t be shown during the launch. Fans are now eager to see what amusing moments Alex and Claudia will create as the show progresses live on Saturdays.
“Strictly Come Dancing” airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer every Saturday night. For more entertainment news, follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads.
