Ranvir Singh has caused uproar across social media over her comments about former Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice.
The 43 year old competed on the hit BBC series in 2020 and was partnered with the Italian professional dancer, but the pair were sadly eliminated after losing a dance off with Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer.
As Ranvir hosted Good Morning Britain alongside Ben Shephard on Thursday morning, the pair were reunited as Giovanni, 30, was joined by 54 year old Anton Du Beke to speak on their upcoming dance tour.
Accusing Ranvir of deflecting the conversation away from their time on the show, Ben, 46, asked her: "Ranvir, how do you create the intimacy that we saw on TV?"

Laughing, the mum-of-one explained: "Do you remember Giovanni when we were doing the American Smooth and you had a cardigan on?
"And I said to the wardrobe team, 'No take his cardigan off, I need to feel his ribcage'."
Ranvir, who recently said she "felt flat" for weeks after starring on the show, added: "That's where the sizzle comes from! Isn't that right? I was like, 'No, change his clothes, needs to be thinner material'."

Giggling alongside her, Ben replied: "She likes to control everything, does our Ranvir, Giovanni."
However, viewers of the programme were quick to comment on Twitter as one outraged viewer said: "Disgusting Ranvir, You'd be kicking off if I asked a woman to change clothes so I could feel different parts of her against me. #gmb."
"Imagine saying that you needed to feel a female contestants rib cage through thinner clothing, to get the intimacy of the dance vibe, as Ranvir just did about Giovanni… [woozy face emoji] Loved that Ben called her a control freak… #gmb", [sic] another said with a smiling emoji.

Not everyone focused on the remarks though as some people were excited to see the pair reunited after their chemistry on the dance floor.
