The following morning she was asked about the incident in a BBC Radio 1 interview.
She said: “Last night I freaked out, I put my hands up and there was a new guy there. Usually I have my signature guy who helps me with it, every night for the past three years. But it was this new guy."

She was asked by interviewer and radio host Scott Mills if it was the dancer’s first day.
She replied: “No it wasn't his first day but it was his first time to touch my back and I couldn't do it. He's actually more muscly than the [usual] guy and I should've been more confident."
