Judge Derek Hough had a verbal misstep on Tuesday's season premiere of Dancing With the Stars, accidentally calling The Bachelorette's Tyler Cameron the wrong name.
Hough, 41, assessed a tango Cameron, 33, danced with partner Sharna Burgess, 41, to the tune of Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz.
The six-time DWTS champion told Cameron, 'Dylan, you have this, like, Patrick Swayze aura about you, right - you're cool, masculine, just effortless - it really is amazing, truly.'
The flub attracted attention on social media platforms such as X and Reddit, as a number of the show's viewers caught on.
'Did Derek Hough just call Tyler Cameron “Dylan?” LMAO' one user wrote, while another said, 'Not derek hough calling tyler cameron “dylan” LOL.'
A commenter added, 'Okay I definitely thought I just misheard him, he should just stick to saying my man to be safe lol.'

Another user noted, 'He stopped calling men by their name after that…'
Some noted that no one apprised Hough of his error, as a user said, 'Okay yes and when no one corrected him I was like "am I going crazy."'
Another said, 'I knew I heard correctly,' while one user said that 'no one reacted' to the gaffe.
Said one viewer: 'I love live TV lol.'
Some users suggested that Hough had confused Cameron with Dylan Efron, who competed on the show's previous cycle.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Hough for further comment on the story.
Hough in the segment advised Cameron on his dance techniques, telling him, 'For me, the frame … we need to expand that.
'I know you're a big guy, but you can handle that, she can handle that, absolutely. I think mirroring your presence with the technique, the frame, the posture, you're gonna do fantastic.'
Cameron received feedback from the judges alongside partner Sharna Burgess and host Alfonso Ribeiro

Cameron wound up getting 17 points out of 30 from Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
Tonioli, 70, said he was 'pleasantly surprised' by Cameron's performance, crediting him with good agility for his size.
Inaba, 58, said that Cameron delivered 'a commanding performance' and carried himself well despite some technical mistakes.
Monday's program saw the eight male contestants dancing to songs that hit number one on the charts the year they were born.
