The Greatest Dancer sashayed back onto our screens this weekend and gave us even more fabulous dancing.

One of the biggest changes on the show this year is the introduction of Curtis Pritchard – aka professional dancer, brother of Strictly Come Dancing pro AJ Pritchard and Love Island 2019 favourite – as the show's receptionist.

But some fans reckon that Curtis might be better off sticking to dancing, as eagle-eyed viewers seemed to think his laptop wasn't switched on, even though he was working greeting contestants as they entered the reception area:

Of course, he could have been about to wake the laptop from sleep mode as new contestants arrived and a representative of the show said "Curtis' computer was on throughout filming."

Curtis might not be a natural receptionist but he's definitely a skilled dancer and choreographer – which led some baffled viewers to question why he'd been given a desk job on the show:

Curtis' receptionist skills weren't the only thing distracting viewers during the first show, as dance captain Matthew Morrison was sporting a rather attention-grabbing moustache – although there is a reason for his questionable facial hair.

There was another new face on the show too as RuPaul's Drag Race star Todrick Hall joined the dance captain panel alongside returning captains Matthew, Oti Mabuse and Cheryl.

The Greatest Dancer airs Saturdays at 7pm on BBC One.
