Happened to me in a Seneca 3 at Machrihanish (Campbeltown) last century with a Cathay student.
The BAe SOP was a gentle retardation of the throttle to close, commencing at a minimum height of 400ft.
He ‘kicked’ the wrong way in the excitement. Despite me ‘guarding’ the rudder pedals a significant roll occurred. Immediately took control to resolve the situation. A very apologetic student.

A CAA pink AIC was current at the time following the Jetstream 31 fatal after a similar situation.
In their case, it was a live ‘V1 cut’ as part of
a 6 monthly currency [1179 boxed items].
The rules changed after that nasty.
