Stacey Dooley, 32, joked about her Strictly Come Dancing co-star while featuring on the comedy panel hosted by Dara O’Briain, 47, alongside pro, Oti Mabuse, 29.
The two were playing against comedian Josh Widdicombe, answering trivia questions to complete a path across or down the hexagon-filled game board.
The documentary presenter made the sly dig after Dara asked Oti about her Strictly experience and her past partners on the show.
“Oti, be honest with us,” he began.
“The people you danced with, there must have been times where you’ve gone… this one’s rubbish.”
The audience erupted as Oti burst out laughing.
But before she could answer, the performer’s co-star Stacey interjected: “Graeme, Graeme Swann!” she joked.
Oti was partnered with Graeme in last year’s competition and was the ninth celebrity to leave the show. The former English cricketer found himself in the dance-off against Ashely Roberts and partner Pasha Kovalev.
When asked by Tess Daley about his time the show, Graeme said: “I’d have voted for Ashley and Pasha as well.
“This show and what you’ve got is something special and thank you for letting me be part of it.”
Jumping up and down on her seat, Oti struggled to compose herself while laughing at the question.
Dara also asked the two Strictly stars about long-time pro dancer on the show, Anton Du Beke.
“Anton must have other stuff to do,” Dara quizzed. “You could give Anton someone who’s out in two weeks.”
Stacey and Oti both agreed: “He’s a busy man.”
Anton is currently partnered with EastEnders star, Emma Barton, who plays Honey Mitchell in the show.
She recently shared to her Instagram a video of the pair before rehearsal, with Anton reading from a book titled, The Ballroom Technique.
“So obviously we’re doing the Foxtrot,” the 53-year-old started before reeling off various complicated dance moves as Emma pans the camera to show her own overwhelmed looking face as she whispers: “Oh my god.”
Fans of the actress found the video hilarious with one user replying: “I bet the sleeps with that under his pillow!”
Another gushed: “You two are hilarious! BEST partnership in the whole show!”
The pair scored 23 with their Jive in the first live show and are set to dance the foxtrot in Saturday’s performance.
Strictly Come Dancing airs tomorrow at 6.40pm on BBC One.
