Pritchard, 25, was mentored by Loose Women's Judi Love, but decided not to take her advice on which jokes to leave out – leading to the audience booing him.
Speaking on the podcast AJ vs Curtis, which he does with his brother, former Strictly star AJ Pritchard, the dancer said he'd had time to reflect on his sense of humour.

He said: "I just want to quickly say I recently took part in the Stand Up To Cancer initiative with Channel 4 where I was challenged to become a stand-up comedian.

"Some of the jokes, they were completely off-track and went too far and I didn't realise that at the time but I realise it now and I just want to apologise to everybody and anybody that I have offended.
"It was never intentional at all, it really wasn't. It was a great show to be a part of and I was very fortunate to be able to take part but I just want to apologise and say I am sorry for the jokes."
Pritchard's rude jokes covered topics including sexual stamina, Viagra and lubricant, drawing boos from the audience and left mentor Love with her head in her hands.
She said at one point: "I didn't even know that he was going to do this joke, I told him to take this joke out."
