On Monday evening, she made an appearance on companion show It Takes Two alongside her professional partner Neil Jones.
During the interview, Toyah was asked if she had any “tips for the other celebs” still in the competition, she caught Neil and host Fleur East off guard when, through enthusiastic laughter, she declared: “If you don’t wanna do a dance-off, get rid of Chris!”
After a stunned silence, Neil joined in Toyah’s laughter, while Fleur was visibly lost for words.
“You’re all going to have to face a dance-off!” a chirpy Toyah then added.
The scene left many Strictly fans feeling a little uncomfortable…
HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for Toyah Willcox and Strictly Come Dancing for comment.
So far, Chris – who made history this year as the first ever blind celebrity to compete on Strictly – and his professional partner Dianne Buswell are off to a flying start in the competition, finishing in the top half of the leaderboard every week.
Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday night at 6.20pm on BBC One.
