Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left in a frenzy as they spotted more celebrities in the audience. Recently, the live studio audience has been stealing the limelight from the dancing couples themselves.

The popular BBC One dance competition returned on Saturday night (October 12) for its fourth week, following an impressive Movie Week special last weekend.

The latest live show also marked the return of DIY SOS star Nick Knowles to the dancefloor, after he was forced to sit out last week's movie-themed special due to an injury.

He had injured his knee during rehearsals but was given the green light to dance by the medical and physio teams, the BBC confirmed on Friday (October 11).

Nick and his professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk then performed their planned movie week routine, a Charleston to Rain On The Roof from the Paddington 2 soundtrack, reports the Manchester Evening News.

However, as the remaining 13 couples took to the floor, viewers were distracted by the sight of Ted Lasso star Trent Crimm in the audience.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan exclaimed: "NOT A DRILL: TRENT CRIMM IS IN THE AUDIENCE! #Strictly."
