Strictly fans spot Corrie stars and unimpressed looking Alan Carr in audience

Strictly Come Dancing viewers spotted some famous faces in the audience tonight.

Coronation Street stars Georgia Taylor and Jane Danson were seen at the start of the show as they cheered on co star Catherine Tyldesley.

Jane, who plays Leanne Battersby, and Georgia, who plays Toyah Battersby looked delighted to be there as they applauded.

Fans were excited to see the Corrie stars, with one tweeting: "both georgia n jane are at strictly tonight to support cath n i think that’s BEAUTIFUL".

Georgia even uploaded an adorable selfie with Jane before the show began.

She posted it to her Instagram account with the caption: "Sisters are Strictly ready!!"

Also spotted in the audience was comedian Alan Carr.

He applauded and cheered presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, but viewers took to Twitter to discuss his unimpressed looking expression later on.

One wrote: "Alan Carr looking like Tess has just done a very eggy fart. #strictly ".

"Is Alan Carr constipated, or is that just his happy audience member face? #strictly " asked another.

" #Strictly lovely to see Alan Carr and Corrie stars in the audience", said a third.

"The camera needs to be on @AlanCarr at all times. Loving his expressions #StrictlyComeDancing ", added a fourth.

Tess and Claudia made the shock announcement Will Bayley and Janette Manrara were forced to pull out on doctor's orders after the Paralympic champion nearly broke his leg in a studio rehearsal fall.

That wasn't the end of the injury nightmare, as pro dancer Neil was also missing through injury, but he was replaced.

Alex Jones is partnered with fan favourite Kevin Clifton, who went out in the second week with Anneka Rice.
