Strictly Come Dancing viewers thought they were seeing things as they believed they spotted yet another famous face in the aueince. The live crowd in the ballroom has been capturing the attention of fans week after week.

Early into week four of the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night (October 12), viewers were rushing to social media to comment on spotting Ted Lasso star Trent Crimm watching the show alongside former Strictly contestants Helen Skelton and Sara Davies.

The show itself was opened by singer Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu, who scored a total of 30 for their cha cha, while Miranda star Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola were given 27 for their foxtrot to Billie Eilish’s Birds Of A Feather.

Meanwhile, it was Love Island star Tasha Ghouri whi scored the first 10s of this year’s Strictly series as she tops the leaderboard for the third consecutive week.

The 26-year-old, who is the show’s second deaf contestant, scored three 10s for her and professional partner Aljaz Skorjanec’s Charleston, which judge Anton Du Beke said was "practically perfect".

But once again, it was the audience who caused the biggest distracted as fans were left wondering if they had spotted a renowned children's author watching from the sidelines.
