Strictly fans baffled as Jamie Laing appears in launch show - despite shock exit

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left utterly baffled tonight as Jamie Laing appeared in tonight's launch, despite quitting the show.

The Made in Chelsea star was forced to pull out of the show last week after suffering a nasty injury.

However, because the launch was filmed before his exit, Jamie appeared in the first show tonight.

In one awkward moment, he told viewers: "I can't wait to start dancing!"

And confused viewers flocked to Twitter .

One tweeted: "Totally confused. Didn't Jamie Laing damage himself? Thought the show was live? #Strictly."

While another commented: "I thought Jamie wasn’t doing #Strictly anymore...?"

A third remarked: "I thought Jamie Laing pulled out?? #strictly."

"#Strictly Well Jamie Laing is out already so that was a waste of time!" another wrote.

*Strictly Come Dancing returns later this month on BBC One
