Love Island star Curtis Pritchard was in for a surprise when Cheryl strutted into his reception on The Greatest Dancer.
The singing superstar and dance show judge turned up unannounced to have a 'mooch around' as contestants waited to take to the stage, and she and the show's new receptionist Curtis ended up having a bit of a flirty exchange about Love Island.
"Oh, you look absolutely fantastic," he said as they shared a hug.
"Thanks babe," she told him.
"I wanted to have a little mooch around. It's cool in here isn't it? Our new reception," she said, seemingly oblivious to the excitement on the faces of the dancers waiting to perform on the BBC One dance contest.

Cheryl, a fan of the ITV2 dating show which returns for a winter series on Sunday night, asked Curtis about his role on The Greatest Dancer: "Are you enjoying it?"
"Yeah I'm loving it, thank you," he told her.
She then quickly fired back "got a text?", referring to the dating show's famous catchphrase.
"Is that really annoying?" she asked him. "I won't do it anymore."
And Curtis gently reassured: "Nah it's alright. You can do anything."
"Okay," said the Fight For This Love Singer with a smile.
The former Girls Aloud singer departed the room by blowing the contestants a kiss and wishing them good look.
The room erupted in excitement and Curtis, 23, was left speechless from the surprise visit.
"Wooh," he gasped, as one of the dancers mimed being hot under the collar and fanning themselves down, and Curtis pointed at them in agreement.
The Greatest Dancer's official Twitter posted the hilarious moment with a crying laughing-face emoji and the words: "Something tells us @CurtisPritchard is enjoying this! @CherylOfficial."
