Jamie and Michelle joined host Fleur East on It Takes Two on Friday and was quickly asked about Jamie’s funny comment to Michelle.
He cheekily told the professional dancer that she had a garlic scent during their Saturday performance.
It was caught on a secret microphone that captures the dancers conversations from the dance floor and backstage.
Fleur said: “Here at It Takes Two we like to eavesdrop on your mic, I’m sorry we like to introduce.”
Jamie was heard telling Michelle: “You smell of garlic.”
Fleur asked: “What was going on? ”
Michelle explained: “In the most romantic moment of the dance, he decides to tell me I smell like garlic.”
Jamie explained: “Well we’ve had this thing during the week at rehearsal, it was an inside joke where we were eating garlic bread and stuff like that and we’ve been burping in each other’s faces all week.”
“You watch the mic thing now for as long as we are here there is going to be something good on that mic.”
Michelle joked: “I’m going to get him back”.
Jamie, was first given a perfect score of 40 points from the judges when he won the 2023 Christmas special of the hit BBC show.
This time around it seemed the judges were much harsher with their comments, except for Craig who seemed to enjoy his performance.
During the interview, Fleur mentioned how the judges may have been harsh with their scores.
She thought this may have been due to his success in the holiday period when he performed the Quickstep.
The presenter then read out a comment from a viewer named Lizzie who said: “Judges – harsh much.
“Seemed far more critical than anyone else? I thought it was fab!”
Jamie replied: “They were critical. But they were judges, it’s what it’s meant to be.”
However, he then made a swipe at Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke.
The actor implied that he was only really concerned with impressing Craig Revel Horwood.
It could have been his top priority, due to Craig’s reputation as being the harshest critic on the panel.
“Craig liked it!”, he exclaimed. “I’d much rather Craig love it than the other three.”
After his previous performance, Anton and Shirley tried to actually demonstrate how he could improve his posture.
But despite the criticism from the others, Craig seemed to lavish praise on the amateur dancer.
“Well I think you are terrific actually, I love your energy.”
He added: “It needs a little bit of fluidity, it was a bit sort of jaggered throughout. But that performance I thought was absolutely wonderful.”
Jamie scored a total of 50 points on yesterday’s second live show – placing him eight in the leaderboard.
