Tonight’s edition of It Takes Two saw Zoe Ball forced to pull out due to illness, and was instead replaced by former Strictly competitor and TV presenter, Gethin Jones.
As Zoe was ill with the flu, Gethin was also joined by Will Bayley MBE and partner Janette Manrara, as well as Dev Griffin and professional partner Dianne Buswell.
But it was during the first part of the show when Alex Scott and professional dance partner Neil Jones entered the sparkly studio.
The pair spoke about their upcoming routine on this weekend’s show.
However, as they discussed their upcoming Rumba in this weekend’s Movie Week, Alex appeared to get annoyed by her partner.

As the song they will be dancing to came on, Neil seemed to get a bit overexcited.
Alex said to partner Neil: “Can you stop humming in my ear?
He apologised to his celebrity partner, looking slightly embarrassed that she called him out.
“Moana… taking over the world, saving the world.” Gethin commented.
Alex told viewers: “I’m playing a cool, really cool Disney Princess, a go-getter, determined and a pretty cool song.”
However, she added: “I just need to make sure it is a beautiful dance.”
As this weekend is the show’s iconic Movie Week, the subject changed to what role Neil would be playing in the dance.
Gethin stated: “The main companion for Moana in the film is of course a chicken” quickly asking “so what are you going to be playing Neil?”
Fans were left excited by the prospect of the couple’s routine to the popular Disney film.
