The comment, which was picked up on the mic, left viewers baffled – especially as they ended up finishing in second place on the leaderboard.
Now The Sun can reveal Katya was apologising over a mistake in the routine – because it was HER fault.
Judge Motsi Mabuse told the couple: “We need to clean it up. At the very end there was a tiny mistake, I saw that, but we are starting at levels. Hello Strictly 2025.”
Katya grimaced as Motsi pointed out the error.
An insider told The Sun: “Katya wanted to quickly own up to being the one who had caused the error that was picked up on by the judges.
“She was totally was kicking herself over the mistake and wanted to say sorry straight away, but didn’t expect it to be overheard by viewers.”
Lewis told Katya “it’s fine” as he waved to the crowd on Saturday night’s show.
The pair were beat only by former professional footballer Karen Carney.
He headed for an early gym session on Saturday morning ahead of the second live show.
Lewis told fans: “I’m full of tan, I’m full of beans, let’s have a good day.”
