The latest episode of Doctor Who had fans buzzing with excitement as two Strictly Come Dancing stars made a surprise appearance. The beloved show returned to our screens this weekend, with Ncuti Gatwa taking on the role of the Time Lord and Millie Gibson as his companion.
Saturday's episode, titled "Space Babies" and "The Devil's Chord," took viewers on a thrilling journey through time and space. In the latter episode, the Doctor and Ruby traveled back in time to meet The Beatles. However, their plans were disrupted when they discovered that the all-powerful Maestro was altering history, turning London into a battlefield with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. But, as always, the Doctor and Ruby managed to restore order and save the day.
In a heartwarming moment, the Doctor shared with Ruby that there is always a twist at the end of their adventures, followed by a knowing wink to the audience. The episode ended with a fun music and dance number, featuring none other than Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas and professional dancer Johannes Radebe.
Fans were pleasantly surprised by their cameo, even though it was announced months ago. Many took to social media to express their excitement, with one fan exclaiming, "JOHANNES RADEBE?! SHIRLEY BALLAS?! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE AND NOT ON STRICTLY?!".
In the dancing scene, Shirley and Johannes joined the Doctor and Ruby, with Johannes sporting a long curly wig and a goatee. Fans couldn't stop talking about the unexpected but delightful addition of their favorite Strictly stars in the episode.
Shirley even shared some photos from the set and asked her followers if they spotted her and Johannes. Fans couldn't contain their excitement, with one even admitting they screamed when they saw the duo appear on screen.
During an interview last year, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies teased about potential cameos in the upcoming season, and Shirley's name came up. She confirmed that she would be making a guest appearance and even got to perform with Johannes and other dancers in the episode. Russell couldn't miss the opportunity to watch Shirley work, and he made sure to be on set that day.
The next episodes of Doctor Who will air next Saturday on BBC One. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to The Agency entertainment team. They would love to hear from you!
