Amused Strictly viewers said Mike Bushell turned his final dance into an “iconic” moment after his head got stuck in partner Katya Jones’s dress.
The pair had taken to the dancefloor after getting eliminated during Sunday’s results show.
Things went wrong when the BBC Breakfast star picked Jones up – and appeared to get stuck in her dress.
He then started a conga across the dancefloor.
Now that's how you leave #Strictly on a high! RT to give it up for @mikebreakfast and @Mrs_katjones. 👏 pic.twitter.com/XqJLajdwkm

Fans thought the blunder was hilarious.
“That wasn’t at all awkward was it? We will all have a lasting memory of Mike with his head stuck up Katya’s frock. Lovely,” one person said on Twitter.

“Mike Bushel getting Katya stuck on his head because he got caught up in her skirt just about sums up his Strictly Experience,” said another, adding a string of crying with laughter emojis.

Another person posted: “Mike and katya just had pretty much the most iconic final dance ever from that lift (and trying to lift chris!) to then just leading a giant conga, hats off to him.”
“Turning his final dance into a giant conga is an iconic moment and what strictly is all about,” said another.
No matter what might've been said about Mike, he went out on a high and his attitude is to be applauded. He seems to have genuinely enjoyed it and what a gent.Turning his final dance into a giant conga is an iconic moment and what strictly is all about #Strictly

Bushell also joked about the gaffe after leaving the programme.
