Shirley Ballas has admitted Anton Du Beke is a "mischief maker".
Anton Du Beke is the naughtiest Strictly judge
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' head judge's fellow panelist is always "playing pranks" and can't resist causing chaos behind-the-scenes of the Latin and ballroom show.
She said: "I think I’d have to say Anton Du Beke is the naughtiest judge. I’ve known Anton for over 35 years and he really is the nicest gentleman, but he is forever playing pranks backstage and on tour. He’s a mischief maker!"
And her fellow judges agreed.
Motsi Mabuse said: "Yes, let me think...I would say Anton is naughty!"
Craig Revel Horwood added: "The naughtiest, oh I’d definitely say Anton Du Beke!"
But Anton insisted he wasn't the only person who gets up to mischief.
He said: "Craig is definitely the naughtiest! I'm the nicest."
Shirley is excited about this year's 'Strictly' Christmas special.
She said: "The Christmas show is always so uplifting, and I think it’s beautiful we give millions of families something to enjoy on Christmas Day.
"I am most looking forward to getting in the Christmas spirit with my fellow judges, seeing a brand new cast take to the floor and listening to some fabulous Christmas songs – there’s some great Christmas tunes out there to dance to!"
Motsi enjoys the "relaxed" atmosphere of the festive episode.
She said: "It's always beautiful for the Christmas special because it really puts you in that Christmas spirit. And the last dance for the main show has happened so it's more relaxed and it's all about the Christmas period and having fun, so that's what I'm looking for. I always cry on the Christmas show because it's family time."
And Anton admitted he prefers it to the main series.
He said: "I have to tell you, the Christmas special is my favourite show of the series. But then I love Christmas, so it’s perfect for me."
