Dancing on Ice judge Christopher Dean red-faced after X-rated slip-up

Nottingham's own Dancing on Ice judge Christopher Dean was left red faced - with viewers in hysterics - after an X-rated slip of the tongue live on air. The professional ice dancer and former Olympic champion had his pinky finger bandaged up on Sunday night's show (Jan 15) after breaking it in a fall a few days ago.

He sought to explain his eye-catching bandage as presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield chatted to the judges early in the show. Christopher attempted to explain how the injury happened during a mishap with skating partner and fellow Dancing on Ice judge Jayne Torvill, who is also from Nottingham, when he made the embarrassing blunder.

As he showed off the plaster on his injured finger, which matched his black suit, Holly said:" Oh, look at that!" as Phil asked: "What have you done?" His response shocked ITV viewers - as the hosts, judges and studio audiences erupted into laughter, reported the Daily Record.

As he glanced across to Jayne sitting next to him, Christopher muddled up his words, saying said: "Jayne was squeezing my hard in the lift." As he tried to correct himself to say "my hand in a lift", Phil couldn't help himself as he interjected: "She was what?!"

After uproarious laughter and cheering from the audience, Holly said: "Thank you for sharing!" and Phillip added: "I wish I hadn't asked now!" Christopher composed himself and said: "Anyway, no, I fell over in a darkened room..." as a giggling Holly butted in: "I prefer the first story!"

Christopher then said: "Maybe I'll stick with that first story." Amused fans took to social media to react to the hilarious slip of the tongue. Adam Firrell (@AdamFirrell) tweeted: "I just had to watch that back 5 times! Jane squeezed Chris's hard on in a lift apparently!"

Linda (@Linda93455789) commented: "Is Chris a bit hot under the collar tonight?" Karen (@Karen_Lilyam) added: "I'm dead at Christopher Dean She grabbed my hard.. sorry what ? #DancingOnIce."
