Who is Keith Urban? Strictly Come Dancing guest performance beckons for singer

Strictly Come Dancing is a show known for having a wide array of guest performers and the latest one is Keith Urban.

After a weekend which saw many of this year's Strictly stars get personal best scores from the judges, Keith performed during Sunday night's results show.

He follows in the footsteps of Lewis Capaldi and Harry Conick Jr who has also been guest performers so far this series.

Aside from Keith singing, Sunday's Strictly looks set to be drama-filled after a Strictly spoiler leaked a shock result.

Someone ranted "Goodnight to everyone except the strictly judges who made that horrible decision," while another reacted "Just came across the Strictly spoiler and i am absolutely gobsmacked!"

Anyway, back to Keith...
