Strictly's Janette Manrara red-faced after accidentally swearing at choreographers

Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara accidentally dropped an Italian F-bomb live on It Takes Two.

The presenter, 38, was joined by assistant choreographers Arduino Bertoncello and Ash-Leigh Hunter when she made the faux pas.

As she was wrapping up the interview she thanked the pair in Italian before accidentally saying "Che Cazzo", which translates to "what the f***".

The guest was slightly taken back, before responding: "Grazie," which means thank you in Italian.

Realising what she had said, Janette quickly replied: "Grazie".

During the episode, Kym Marsh spoke about how she suffered a "breakdown" backstage over a crisis of confidence.

The Coronation Street actress admitted to struggling to control her emotions as she competes in the show.

Kym, 48, who has been dancing with partner Graziano Di Prima, found herself at the bottom of the leaderboard on Saturday night.

Her Quickstep to Sweet Ballroom Blitz gathered just 27 points from the judges.

But despite battling confidence issues, she told herself to embrace the moment and "have fun" with it.

"After having a day of a bit of a meltdown, I got on there and thought you know what, let's just have fun," she told Janette.

“It was a bit of a scary moment closing the show, but Graziano gave me the biggest squeeze – which I didn’t really appreciate, because I’ve got a rib injury still," Kym added.

It's no surprise that Kym is feeling the pressure after it was revealed that she is the bookies' favourite to leave the competition.

The Hear'Say singer locked horns with head judge Shirley Ballas over her dance which celebrated 100 years of the BBC.

"The core today lacked a little bit, it was loosey goosey, it was moving a bit all over the place."

She added: "Somehow for me it wasn’t your best dance today."

Fans have hit out at Shirley's comments, insisting that the 62-year-old was "jealous" of Kym.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Our betting suggests Kym Marsh’s Strictly journey will come to an end this weekend.
