This guy on Strictly was the talk of Twitter last night… and he wasn’t a contestant

We might have been slow to jump on the Strictly Come Dancing bandwagon, but this year we’re well and truly on it.

Yes, this year’s show has us thoroughly entertained every weekend with the amazing performances and even more incredible costumes. However, there was one thing on last night’s show that had us blown away – and we weren’t the only ones. Viewers were quick to notice a new sound on the show and it was all down to a new singer joining the ever-incredible Strictly orchestra. Yes, fans of the show were quickly distracted from the dance floor by what was going on behind them in the bandstand. From an epic performance of The Darkness’ I Believe in a Thing Called Love to a seriously impressive version of Bruno Mars’ Marry You, the new singer had everyone's mind blown.

Did Strictly add another singer just so they could do Justin Hawkins’ falsettos? I really hope so.

In a shock twist they've employed a singer who can actually do the songs some sort of justice #Strictly
