This news came in spite of the fact Whitney and her pro partner, Mark Ballas, raked in the third highest score of the night, landing securely on the leader board with 58 points.

But Whitney will certainly be memorable, after accidentally dropping a series of swear words on live TV once her Waltz to Slow Love was over.

Speaking to host Julianne Hough, Whitney reflected on how she’s felt being on the show so far.

“I feel like this little girl who’s dreams are coming true,” she said with emotion.

“And more than ever on this show, I feel like those are obtainable.”

The tear-jerking speech then took a rapid turn into less PG territory.

“I f****** **********”.

It was hard to make out exactly what Whitney said, but whatever it was it left her dance partner with his hands over his face, standing next to her.

Fellow contestant pro dancer Britt Stewart’s jaw also visibly dropped in the background.

Fans however were amused by the turn of events, as well as impressed that production managed to bleep the curse words so effectively, and took to TikTok to share their thoughts on the moment.

“Wish they didn’t bleep it,” said one fan, though many shared the sentiment.

“I need to know what she said!!!,” remarked others.

Others were left questioning: “I’m so confused how they know to bleep when it’s live… I’m so confused.”

Those in the comments explained to anyone confused how there’s typically a delay between live and broadcast TV.

After Whitney’s shock elimination five other amateur dancers – Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Dylan Efron (brother of Zac Efron), Robert Irwin and Elaine Hendrix – remain in the competition.

Since leaving the competition, Whitney has spoken to E! News about how it feels somewhat akin to a breakup departing the show.

“It’s sad, it does feel like a breakup because you build long-lasting friendships here with production, crew—obviously with Mark.

“You spend so much time with these people every single day, so it does feel like a breakup.

“It’s like I’m sad, but also I’m leaving with just a grateful heart, to have been able to experience it.”
