Strictly Come Dancing’s Bruno Tonioli left the Loose Women panel laughing as he dropped a swear word live on air.

Appearing on the ITV lunchtime show, Tonioli took part in a quick challenge quiz in which he had to try and guess head judge Shirley Ballas’ dance moves.

The 62-year-old soon found himself explaining the origin of the famous “sprinkler” move when he dropped a rather rude word.

Speaking about the move, Tonioli said: “A few years back we did a funny video, I did it with her son actually Mark, and we did a… can you say p*** take? Well I’ve already said it now.”

Host Andrea McLean apologised to viewers as she told Tonioli off for the word and replaced the offending remark with “mickey take”.

The star also apologised for his language before rounding off his story saying: “Anyway, we did a very funny little sketch and did all these funny dances and the sprinkler was one of them.”

​Tonioli joined McLean, Rebekah Vardy, Nadia Sawalha and Stacey Solomon to chat about the upcoming Strictly tour, which kicks off on Friday 19 January in Birmingham.

The tour performs at venues nationwide and includes reigning champions Joe McFadden and Katya Jones alongside other celebrities including Alexandra Burke and Susan Calman.
