STRICTLY stars Ellie Simmonds and Nikita made a HUGE live blunder on Loose Women.
The pair, who are currently dancing in this year's series of the BBC dance competition, appeared on the ITV talk show earlier today.
Panellist Kaye Adams, who was first to be voted out of this year's show, gave the pair a very warm welcome.
Kaye said: "From competitive swimming to competitive dancing, our next guest is no stranger to a gold medal.
"From her performance on the dance floor every week, another trophy, a much more glittery one could be on the cards…"
They then aired a selection of their best bits on from the show so far.

When the camera panned back at the panel, Ellie, 27, and Nikita Kuzmin, 24, were giggling away to themselves.
Ellie said: "We were just evaluating our dances weren't we?
"We were watching it on there [points at camera] and we were evaluating it and apparently they might be able to hear us and we were like…"
Nikita gasped and covered his mouth.

"I didn't realise," she added.
It comes after the pair wowed viewers at the weekend, as they danced to the theme tune from The Apprentice, to celebrate the BBC’s centenary.
The Ukrainian dancer and the Paralympic swimming champ scored 30 points, but were criticised for their moves.
During an appearance on Strictly: It Takes Two they appeared to poke fun at the judges’ recent comments about their ‘illegal lift’ on the show.
Host Janette Manrara began the conversation as she said: “Now we’ve got to talk about it, as it has been quite the controversial subject – the lift.”
Nikita explained: “I love the fact that it was illegal,” as he mocked Craig’s voice.
He continued: “To be honest, I am always trying to create choreography around Ellie, and my goal for this week was to create a lot of drama.
“To be fair about the lift, my only goal is to get Ellie down safely and in a spectacular manner.”
Ellie then chimed in: “Safety first, safety first.”
Nikita continued: “If that’s the only thing that keeps us away from a 10, I can live with it.”

Ellie said it was “amazing” to hear viewers were on their side, and said they’d “still have kept it in” despite the comments.
This weekend they will be dancing the Fox Trot to Scooby Dooby Do.
