STRICTLY Come Dancing fans noticed a random celebrity in the audience on Saturday night’s show but were puzzled as to why the cameras kept panning onto him.
The star cropped up numerous times throughout the Halloween themed show for no apparent reason.

If you missed it, the “random” celebrity was in fact Brian Conley - and it seemed Strictly bosses just couldn’t get enough of him.
One tweeted: “BBC #Strictly editor: ‘Quick, for no reason at all, show Brian Conley.’”
Another wrote: “Why do they keep cutting to Brian Conley in the audience? #strictly.”
Fans of the comedian hoped their apparent obsession with Brian was a hint that he might be appearing on the show next year.

One of his followers said: “Just seen Brian in the audience at strictly, maybe we will see you dancing next year, my boys would be happy to see that.”
Another viewer tweeted hopefully: “Brian nice to see you on the TV. You must have a go! You will be brill.”

The mum of two, 37, was diagnosed with the BRCA2 cancer gene when she was 33, meaning she had an 85 per cent chance of developing breast cancer.
The gene is hereditary, and both her grandmother and great-grandmother had died of the disease in their 30s.
The mum to baby girl Faith with her businessman husband Hugh Hanley, ex-Liberty X star Michelle opted to have both breasts removed in 2012.

In 2014, after the birth of son Aaron, she also decided to get a hysterectomy — with surgeons removing her womb, cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Michelle told Reveal magazine of her decision: “I couldn’t risk my children being without a mum.”
As a result of the surgeries, however, Michelle won’t be able to have any more children, and she’s already undergoing menopause, which hits the average UK woman at age 51.
She said: “I’ll be going through menopause until my body is at a natural age where I would have gone through it.
“It’s really tough knowing I’ve still got such a long road ahead. Emotionally, there are good days and bad days. I have hormone replacement injections every six months.”
