The presenter quizzed the Holby City star and his professional partner about the format for Saturday night's big performance asking: "It's a knock out isn't it on Saturday? So somebody leaves?"
"Somebody leaves and doesn't get to do all of the their dances, which is going to be disappointing," Joe confirmed.
But Katya was forced to step in and correct the Scottish actor, noting: "I think they're just finding out the winner straight away. We all get to do all of the dances. We're doing all the dances."
"Oh hang on, they've changed it," Joe exclaimed.
