Showing up to support Sarah Hadland as she performs alongside professional Vito Coppola, BBC fans were quick to spot one celebrity face in the Strictly audience.
Comedian and actress Miranda Hart was seen clapping after the opening musical number, with fans going wild for the star as she sat alongside co-star Patricia Hodge to cheer on Sarah Hadland.
One BBV viewer wrote on X: "That was amazing. Great to see Miranda and Patricia Hodge in audience."
Another shared: "Just makes me so happy to see Miranda and Patricia in the audience."

"Miranda family together. We love to see it," added a third.
This isn't the first time Miranda has appeared on this year's Strictly, as she previously made an appearance in one of Sarah and Vito's rehearsals.
The cameo also comes as last month it emerged that BBC bosses are keen to try and sign up Miranda Hart for a future series of Strictly.
The Call the Midwife actress is said to be on BBC bosses hit list with their hopes lying with Sarah to impress her co-star and pal to sign up next year.

An insider told The Mail on Sunday: "Sarah and Miranda used to watch Strictly at home together before Sarah was on it.
"It was their joint dream to be on [the show]. Ultimately, Miranda would love to go on the show."
They added: "The BBC is desperate to get the big names back on the show.
"If they could tempt Miranda onto it, then it could encourage other big celebrities to do it again.
"Sarah is their hope because she's so close to Miranda."
