Strictly stars are said to have been “howling with laughter” over an unaired “unintentional innuendo” one of the contestants shared while filming the launch show.
The stars of Strictly Come Dancing are said to have been “howling with laughter” whilst filming the launch over an unaired “unintentional innuendo” from Alex Kingston. Her co-star George Clarke has since recalled the moment.
Alex, 62, who is known for her roles on ER and Doctor Who, is among the contestants on the BBC show this year. She made her debut on the dancefloor in the pre-recorded launch show, which aired two weekends ago after having been filmed in the Strictly studio days prior to its broadcast.
During the episode, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman introduced the contestants, with the hosts having been seen asking them questions at one point. It’s since been revealed that one interaction with Alex didn’t get broadcast but had “everyone howling with laughter” at the time.

On a Useless Hotline episode that was released last week, Alex’s co-star George, 25, recalled the incident. The actor claimed to be unintentionally funny on the podcast because of how sweet, lovely, and kind she is, and that’s how he and his co-host Max Balegde put it.
George then stated that not all of Tess and Claudia’s questions to the contestants were included in the launch show’s broadcast date. He claimed that “Alexa was asked one, and she responded very well.” So someone came round before going backstage and said, “That’s good, so we’re gonna get Tess and Claudia to ask a question if you could just kind of lead into that story.”
He continued, “Tess or Claudia later] teed up with, “So you, your family, your friends, they’re big Strictly fans, right? ” How did you explain your initial efforts to them? and [Alex] was the author of the story. But she did it so beautifully.
She responded, “Well, I was actually at my friend’s husband’s birthday, and I know he’s a huge fan, so I thought I would give him a little birthday gift,” so I waited until everyone was asleep before sneaking into his room and telling him I had a secret to share. Then he arrived… We all just wet ourselves, and I could see him getting more and more stiff. And she responded, “No! with fear, fear! “
I can’t even recall what she said next in an effort to save it, George said, “Not helping Alex! “, but it basically doubled down on the bit. And it was hilarious as well. Claudia was wet, just like she once said something in response. She was shocked when she finished it, but it was still good.
A source has told the Mirror: “Alex’s unintentional innuendo had everyone howling with laughter in the studio. She was so shocked when she realised how it sounded.”
Everyone is eager to see what Alex might do on air now that Strictly’s live every Saturday night, they continued, “Sadly there wasn’t time to do the full story justice in the launch show.” Together, she and Claudia should be “TV gold.”
Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday night at 6 p.m.
