Claudia Winkleman has been roasted by her Strictly Come Dancing fans for making a ‘hilarious’ blunder on the dancing competition.
The 53-year-old presenter – who also fronts hit TV show The Traitors – appeared to get her hosting gigs mixed up during Saturday night’s segment.
It was Movie Week, which meant all stars pulled out their best moves on the dance floor this weekend.
Lewis Cope and Katya Jones wowed the judges and even managed to score the first 10 of the series with their Paso Doble to The Plaza of Execution from The Mask of Zorro.
During her co-hosting duties alongside Tess Daly, Claudia – who was wearing . glitzy black glitter gown – accidentally slipped up on the word ‘dancers’ for ‘players’ as she made reference to The Traitors, which is currently airing the celebrity version.
Speaking to the contestants, she said: ‘Honestly, what an unbelievable dance. I need you to know that your fellow players were screaming. Did you enjoy that?’

Claudia quickly asked them as she stumbled between ‘dancers’ and ‘players’.
Fans were quick to spot the slip-up and ran to social media, where they joked: ‘When you forget which show you’re presenting…’
Fans were in hysterics after spotting the mistake and rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts.
One shared: ‘I didn’t notice this! This is hilarious,’ while another penned: ‘Now lets see what the traitors have to say about this. I mean judges.’
Claudia has been busy hosting the Celebrity Traitors, which features the likes of comedian Alan Carr and presenter Jonathan Ross.
Last week, Alan murdered his best pal Paloma Faith in plain sight – and he has since poked fun at ‘murdering’ her in a tongue-in-cheek moment.
The comedian, 49, ‘killed off’ the singer during the second episode of the hit BBC reality show earlier this week, leaving viewers in hysterics over his sneaky move.
But Alan proved there were no hard feelings between the two when he cracked a joke about it while out for drinks with a pal on Sunday.

Alan Carr has poked fun at ‘murdering’ his pal Paloma Faith in a tongue-in-cheek moment after the dramatic Celebrity Traitors twist
In a clip shared on social media, his friend asked: ‘What kind of cocktail do you feel like, Alan?’
Grinning at the camera, he quipped: ‘Oh, I don’t know – I could murder a Paloma.’
Taking things one step further to prove that there is no bad blood between the long serving pals, Alan captioned the video: ‘Anyone thirsty? love you @palomafaith #forgiveme.’
Paloma shared her own cheeky response in the comments, writing: ‘Mine’s too salty.’
Fans – including host Claudia Winkleman – were also quick to share their amusement with laughing emojis, calling Alan a ‘national treasure’ for making light of the betrayal.
However, some people felt the joke was ‘too soon’, ‘savage’ and ‘cruel.’
Following the fiery reaction, sources have insisted that tension between the pair is all for show.
A source told The Sun: ‘Paloma’s sad to be out first from Celebrity Traitors but is keen to carry on the game.
‘She’s been making digs at Alan on social media to keep up the pretence that she’s still a Faithful at war with a Traitor, but of course, the pair are still incredibly firm friends.
‘Both of them have been in the business long enough to know not to take anything in showbiz seriously.’
The source also revealed the pals are already planning a catch-up for a full Traitors debrief.
