Strictly Come Dancing viewers were ecstatic to see diver Tom Daley in the studio audience during Saturday’s show.
The Olympian, 29, who won bronze in the 2012 games, showed off his impressive build and toned arms in a sleeveless black vest for the outing.
Tom was spotted by excited fans as he cheered and applauded fellow athlete Annabel Croft and her dance partner Johannes Radebe following their Samba.
Whilst his appearance on the show was welcome, it left some viewers wondering why he was there.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one eagle-eyed fan questioned: ‘Why is Tom Daley in the audience’ followed by a pair of eyes .
Another wondered: ‘Why is Tom Daley in the audience with a singlet on?’
A third said: ‘Awww, nice to see Tom Daley in the audience’.
A fourth fan suggested that Tom should take part in the show saying: ‘Tom Daley watching Strictly. He would be amazing paired with Johannes.’
Viewers will be disappointed though as Tom announced he is returning to diving after a two-year break and will bid for a place at next summer’s Olympics in Paris, meaning it is unlikely he will be available for next year’s show.
Tom’s Oscar-winning husband Dustin Lance Black was cleared of assault earlier this week.
Lance, 49, who married the champion diver, 29, in 2017, was accused of assaulting BBC presenter Teddy Edwardes’ as she partied with her ex-girlfriend, Love Island star Amber Gill, at the Freedom nightclub in Soho on August 18 last year.
He was alleged to have grabbed Teddy’s wrist ‘very hard’ and spilled her drink over her, but those claims were dismissed in court.

Meanwhile, Krishnan Guru-Murthy was the seventh celebrity to be eliminated from Sunday’s dreaded Strictly dance off.
The newsreader who danced a Samba on Saturday, left the show alongside professional partner Lauren Oakley after landing at the bottom of the leaderboard.
Krishnan faced TV presenter Angela Rippon in the tense dance off as both stars tried to impress the judges one final time.
The remaining seven couples will take to the dancefloor next week when the Strictly Come Dancing Blackpool Special returns to the Tower Ballroom.
