ITV viewers were in tears on Tuesday evening as they tuned into Strictly The Real Full Monty.
The second instalment of the show opened with boyband The Wanted performing their hit song Glad You Came.
Fans of the group were delighted to see Tom Parker back onstage again amid his battle with cancer.
Tom, 33, announced in October 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable grade 4 glioblastoma.
At the beginning of this year, Tom took to Instagram and told fans that his tumour had been "significantly reduced" and that he was continuing his treatment.
After performing with bandmates Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes, Tom spoke to host Ashley Banjo about how he's doing.
"Obviously I did this show two years ago and I didn't think I'd be two years down the line and have cancer, but here we are," he said.
"But we're doing it for a good cause and everyone is here for a good purpose," Tom added.
Viewers were feeling emotional at seeing Tom on their TV screens again and took to Twitter to comment.
"I didn’t need to cry tonight but ok," one person posted.
"Tom Parker, you absolute hero #StrictlyTheRealFullMonty," another wrote.
A third person commented: "That’s quite moving, that Tom is there #StrictlyTheRealFullMonty."
And a fourth viewer added alongside a screengrab of Tom: "Is there anything more heartwarming than this smile??? Look at you go @TomParker!! Loved that performance so much #StrictlyTheRealFullMonty."
