Strictly Come Dancing viewers believe they saw professional dancer Katya Jones mouth the word "fit" while watching Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb perform on Saturday evening's live show.
Lawrence, known for playing Mackenzie Boyd in the ITV soap, made his Strictly debut with partner Jowita Przystał. The pair danced a Paso Doble and received 20 points from the judges.
Craig Revel-Horwood gave the couple four points, saying parts of the routine were "very square". Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas each awarded five points, while Anton Du Beke gave six.
Shirley praises Lawrence's opening
Shirley found plenty to admire and singled out Lawrence's "opening line" for praise. However, it was a reaction away from the judges' table that caught the attention of some Strictly fans.
Katya, who is partnered this series with social media star John Nellis, was on the balcony during the programme when not dancing. At one point, viewers thought they saw her lean towards fellow pro Aleksandra Isaeva and silently mouth the word "fit".
No sound was picked up from Katya, leaving viewers to work out what she had said.
Fans react on social media
The moment quickly became a talking point on X. One fan asked: "Did Katya say 'fit' after Lawrence's dance?" Another wrote: "Haha Katya mouthing 'fit' after Lawrence's dance."
One viewer asked if anyone else had noticed Katya's reaction, while another guessed she might have said either "well fit" or "he's fit".
It remains unclear what Katya actually said, but many viewers appeared to share the excitement about Lawrence's first appearance. One admirer called the actor "THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED", while another said they were "obsessed" with his performance.
Emmerdale storyline allows break
Lawrence's time on Strictly overlaps with his Emmerdale character taking a short break from the village. Mackenzie has gone to Germany, a storyline that lets Lawrence take time away from the ITV soap while he appears on the BBC show.
This follows a difficult period for Mack, whose relationship with Charity Dingle has been thrown into turmoil. Strictly Come Dancing airs on Saturday nights from 6.15pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
