Strictly's Rylan Clark jokes he's getting 'fired' after major It Takes Two blunder

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Rylan Clark joked he was going to be fired from his role on the show, after a mistake on Friday.

The TV presenter is the host of the Strictly spin-off series It Takes Two, where they discuss the previous week's events, before getting all the gossip about all the upcoming dances.

From previews of performances to chats with the remaining couples, Rylan and his co-host Janette Manrara are in the know about all things Strictly.

But on Friday, Rylan mistakenly discussed the wrong dance when speaking to the latest celebrity panel about Saturday night's show.

Rylan had revealed Ellie Simmonds and pro dancer Nikita Kuzmin were doing a Couples Choice routine, when in fact they were set for a Paso Doble.

Calling himself a "liar" Rylan joked about his show's future as he confessed to viewers he'd made an error.

He said: "I should say, I said they were doing a Couples Choice. I'm just a liar, I'm fired. They're doing a Paso."

The panel were left in hysterics over the moment, as Rylan moved on to the other couples and their routines.

Meanwhile, the show will wave goodbye to another pairing this weekend, as week five commences.

The series lost singer Matt Goss and his pro dance partner Nadiya Bychkova on Sunday after they got sent home in the dance-off against Kym Marsh and Graziano di Prima.

All of the judges opted to save Kym over Matt, with Matt soon revealing all about his time on the show.

He told host Tess Daly: "It’s an extraordinary experience, I have been in America for 25 years. Thank you judges for your candour, you’ve helped me in many ways, my posture – Anton, I am more aware of it.

"This lovely lady beside me, a world champion with all the patience. I am very honoured to have danced with you, and everyone who is still in, I love you guys, go smash it, guys."

Nadiya shared her own thoughts over their early exit and heaped praise on the Bros singer as she spoke of getting to know the real Matt.

She said: "First I’m so grateful that I got to teach and dance with a music icon.

"But, more important than this, I got the privilege to get to know Matt, for who you really are. Not many people know you and you’re a beautiful soul, a very kind human and a real gentleman."

Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday at 6:40pm for its BBC 100 Special on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with the result at 6:45pm on Sunday.
