What did Caroline say?

Johannes told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “She is a very strong-headed woman, but she takes directions so well, as you can see, the performances have proved that.

“I have been enjoying my time with her.”

It is very nice for Johannes to say that, but we had our first proper barney yesterday and we are both still slightly ouchy from it.

But Caroline interrupted, saying: “It is very nice for Johannes to say that, but we had our first proper barney yesterday and we are both still slightly ouchy from it.

“It’s hard sometimes to be told all the time by someone who is always genuinely right, it’s quite frustrating.

“I offered an opinion about a dance step and I was entirely wrong, but rather than back down gracefully I just banged on about it.

“And he got really annoyed with me!”

“And about 10 minutes later I realised I was entirely wrong,” Caroline continued.

“I think our honeymoon period is over and it’s going to be… No, actually it won’t, because I am going to learn to be quiet and bow down to superior knowledge.”
