Strictly Come Dancing's audience is often getting as much attention as what is happening on the dancefloor as a few famous faces pop in to support their pals competing in the competition.
This weekend, viewers watching week five of the BBC One dance contest unfold at home said they 'didn't expect that' as Nigel Harman was supported by none other than acting great David Bradley on the sidelines in the ballroom who will be known to many for playing Argus Filch in the Harry Potter movies.

He sat with a smile on his face as he watched Nigel and professional dance partner Katya Jones perform a Foxtrot to the sound of I Just Want to Make Love to You by Etta James.
