Strictly Come Dancing professional Jowita Prystal shut down Naga Munchetty's question on BBC Breakfast during her appearance on the show this morning.
Jowita, who won the BBC dance competition last year, joined the show with her latest partner Jody Cundy.

Naga asked: "This is probably an unfair question but I'll ask it anyway. How does he compare to how Hamza was in the early days?"
Jowita replied: "I cannot compare them because they're two different people and I will never do that. I said it's a new book, new page and we're riding it together and there's no on else there. It's just me and Jody and I'm focused on Jody because our journey is now and here just us together."
Charlie quipped: "A very diplomatic answer." While Naga added: "Although Jody will ask you over and over again 'Am I as good', well I would anyway."
The Paralympian and Strictly professional spoke about the challenges they have faced while preparing their second performance which will take place on Saturday, which is also the first elimination of the series.
Jowita said: "This week is a completely different dance, so it's the Paso Doble, it is Latin, not Ballroom. So we got comments from judges that we need a bit more confidence from Jody so that is the thing that we are working on right now."
Jody added: "In the Paso you need confidence," as Naga noted: "So you have to channel, kind of, your almost flippant remark, the understatement of the show by the way, 'I have done alright haven't I?' You need to channel... because you must have that arrogance and that
