Fans Left Astounded
Viewers of the hit show, Strictly Come Dancing, were in for a surprise when they spotted Hollywood actor Tom Hiddleston in the audience. The 42-year-old actor, known for his roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and other major films, attended the show with his girlfriend Zawe Ashton.
A Social Media Frenzy
As the camera panned to the couple, fans took to social media to express their excitement. One fan wrote, "Wow, I knew Tom Hiddleston liked Strictly, but I didn't expect him to be in the audience!" Another exclaimed, "Tom Hiddleston in the Strictly audience?? What?? OMG!" The unexpected appearance of the Hollywood star left fans buzzing with excitement.
A Strictly Obsession
It's no secret that Tom Hiddleston is a fan of the popular dance competition. Just last week, he expressed his admiration for the current series during an interview on BBC Radio 2. Hiddleston mentioned that he found contestant Ellie Leach to be the most improved dancer, praising her extraordinary talent.
Another Shock Exit
In addition to Hiddleston's surprise appearance, another shock occurred on tonight's episode of Strictly. Actor Nigel Harman was forced to quit the show due to a rib injury. Harman, known for his role in the TV series Casualty, announced his departure just hours before the live show. Hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly addressed the situation, with Harman explaining that he had been rushed to the hospital after sustaining the injury. Despite the setback, Harman expressed his love for the show and his enjoyment of the experience.
His professional dance partner, Katya, fought back tears as she praised Harman for their magical moments on the dancefloor. She acknowledged the sacrifice he made for his family and expressed hope that he would cherish the memories despite his broken rib.
This unexpected exit marks the second shock departure of the series, following Amanda Abbington and Giovanni Pernice's withdrawal for medical reasons.
