Strictly Come Dancing's surprise celebrity fan in audience leaves viewers gobsmacked

Strictly Come Dancing fans were floored as they spotted an unexpected celebrity guest in the audience.

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman hosted the fourth edition of this season's glitzy dancing competition last night.

The BBC contest has been rocked in the run up to the latest episode as Ugo Monye pulled out of Saturday's episode with a back problem while Robert Webb was forced to quit the show due to "ill health".

However, the show gained another star this week as Danny Dyer was spotted in the audience - as Birmingham Live reports.

The EastEnders actor was noticed in the crowd when he was celebrating after Tilly Ramsay's paso doble.

The 19-year-old TV presenter's dance with partner Nikita Kuzmin thrilled fans - and Danny Dyer also seemed to enjoy the performance as he was shown giving a standing ovation.

Fans of the show took To Twitter to say how shocked they were to see 44-year-old actor in attendance.

Hannah said: "Can’t say I expected to see Danny dyer on strictly #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing"

No Context Strictly Come Dancing tweeted : "WHY IS DANNY DYER HERE #Strictly #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing"

Rosie commented: "Why did the camera just show Danny Dyer in the corner at the end of Tilly's dance?"

CH said: "Danny Dyer looks like he’s having the time of his life at Strictly Face with tears of joy #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing"

Strictly Come Dancing continues next Saturday on BBC One
