Their romance has certainly taking the focus away from Samia Ghadie and Sylvain Longchambon's skating and Sunday night was no different on Dancing on Ice.

After the pair had performed as Barbie and Ken the French skater made a gaff that left the judges in fits of giggles.

The 32-year-old was speaking about how he pushed the Coronation Street star in training and said: 'I've been hard with her all week,' and the panel, particularly Ashley Roberts couldn't stop laughing.

Gaff: Slyvain Longchambon inadvertently made a sexual innuendo after he had performed with partner Samia Ghadie on Sunday night's Dancing on Ice

Sylvain inadvertently made the sexual innuendo after he and Samia had earned their highest score so far in the competition.

The couple had earned 27 points from the judges after dancing to Aqua's track Barbie Girl where Samia had proved that she can skate on her own.

After their performance all judges heaped praise on the pair with Karen telling the pair: 'You proved two things tonight, yes you can skate by yourself, and, yes you deserve to be in this competition.'

What did you just say! After the French skater made the quip Samia soon cottoned on to the sexual innuendo and was seen covering her mouth with her hand

Fits of giggles: Judge Ashley Roberts couldn't help but burst out into laughter after Sylvain's comment

Ashley Roberts praised the start of the pair's performance and said: 'I like the whole beginning part with the quirkiness and the plastic doll.'

Jason wasn't as enthralled and told the couple: 'You lost the characterisation throughout the piece,' before adding, 'you could have had a lot more fun with it.'

Robin noted; 'I can see where Jason is coming from,' but added that he thought she portrayed her character throughout the performance.

Awkward moment: Even Philip Schofield couldn't help but snigger at the French skater's remark

Come on Barbie let's go party: The pair had performed their routine to Aqua's track Barbie Girl

He said: 'I am surprised that tonight you performed as a character throughout the whole thing.'

After hearing the critics Samia noted: 'I actually enjoyed skating on my own this week, more than I thought.'

She added: 'I enjoyed it when I can play a character.'

It was at this point that Sylvain made the gaff speaking about how tough he had been on the actress during rehearsals.

He said: 'I’ve been very hard with her this week.'

Samia agreed adding: 'Yeh he has he’s been angry Ken.'

While the pair seemed unaware at the innuendo, the panel were left in fits of giggles and even host Philip Schoefield couldn't help but laugh.
