Nikita Kuzmin left Strictly Come Dancing viewers in hysterics during Sunday’s result show, as he made a massive blunder while speaking to host Claudia Winkleman.
The professional dancer, who had just got through to week four of the BBC show with his celebrity partner Sam Quek, was asked what the pair would be dancing to next week when he made a hilarious error.
He said: ‘I can give you more than a taste. Well first of all we are dancing the Samba,’ before breaking out into Shakira’s hit 2001 song, Whenever, Wherever’.
Nikita jumped out of his seat and sang, ‘Le-do-lo-le-lo-le, Le-do-lo-le-lo-le, Whenever, wherever, we’re meant to be together, I’ll be there, and you’ll be near,’ prompting his fellow dancers to also join in singing and dancing to the track.
However, as the former Celebrity Big Brother star returned to his seat, Claudia said: ‘Nikita, I love you so much but it was the other Shakira song’.
