NEW Strictly Come Dancing host Josh Widdicombe has been left squirming after judge Motsi Mabuse delivered an ultimatum.
She had a back and forth with Craig Revel Horwood regarding Dame Sarah Storey’s performance as Craig jokingly said: “Well we can move onto Shirley.”
Motsi remarked: “I have to do my job too,” as Josh jokingly said: “SHIRLEY,” as if to say he was skipping past Motsi and moving onto head judge Shirley Bassey.
Not pleased with him, Motsi expressed: “Are we gonna be friends or enemies? You choose.”
Josh pulled a worried face as everyone looked shock before laughing out loud.
This marks Josh’s first live show with fellow co-hosts Emma Willis and Johannes Radebe.
The trio began their Strictly journey with the pre-recorded launch show.
Earlier on in tonight’s episode, Johannes got emotional after watching all of the professional dancers and celebrities gather together on the dance floor.
Josh exclaimed: “Jo Jo’s gonna cry,” as he got teary-eyed and admitted: “I’m emosh.”
Emma asked him: “Are you okay?,” as he responded: “I’m okay my darling.”
He glanced over at his fellow pro dancers and said: “But you guys look beautiful. Miss you all.”
His comment irritated Josh as he remarked: “We’re here Jo Jo, we’re stood right here.”
This prompted Emma to laugh out loud as Johannes said: “I know.”
The trio moved over to speaking to the couples as they expressed: “Welcome back.”
The three new presenters have taken over from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, who quit the programme last series.
This isn’t the only big change this series as five professional dancers exited after the last series and were replaced by five sparkly new performers.
This week’s first performances by the celebrities will see no elimination.
The judges’ votes will be carried over to next week’s show when the first pair will be eliminated during Sunday’s results show.
