Strictly Come Dancing played host to Harry Potter's David Bradley tonight (October 21), as he was spotted supporting his pal Nigel Harman in the audience.
Famed for his Casualty and EastEnders roles (as Max Cristie and Dennis Rickman respectively), Harman and his pro partner Katya Jones impressed the judges on tonight's show with their improvisational Foxtrot skills, after experiencing a few technical hiccups.
Having received feedback from Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke, the pair headed up the stairs where they were greeted by co-presenter Claudia Winkleman.

"Your great friend David Bradley is in the audience," she said, as the camera cut to Bradley smiling. "I was watching him watching you going, 'What's happened to my friend?!'"
"There he is... yeah, he's a wonderful part of my life," replied Harman, who appeared on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip with the Argus Filch actor back in 2018.
