Strictly: It Takes Two host Zoe Ball and musician Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) make cameos during tonight's (October 17) episode of The Circle.

Zoe and Norman were married between 1999 and 2016, and their son Woody Cook is one of this year's final contestants on the Channel 4 hit show.

Appearing via video message, the pair (alongside Woody's younger sister Nelly) share their support for him and explain how proud they are.

Jumping out of Woody's wardrobe, the trio gather together in front of the camera and Zoe states: "Since you've been gone we've been living in your cupboard, in your bedroom, and really missing you.

"We just wanted to say how super proud we are, you've been absolutely amazing."

Norman then jokingly recalls how they all huffed and puffed over Woody entering The Circle, before his mum adds: "You've been so full of love, you've been totally daft and showing your magic, you've been so super clever, you're absolutely smashing it darling and we're so proud of you."

Nelly says "I really miss you", before Norman pleads: "Please come home soon, though!".

Will Woody win and make his family even more proud?

The Circle continues tonight (October 17) at 10pm on Channel 4.
