Strictly Come Dancing couple Lauren Steadman and AJ Pritchard had a special guest at their training session on Thursday (November 22), popstar Cheryl.
Both Lauren and AJ shared a pic with the singer on their Instagrams, with Lauren writing: "Cheeky Selfie in Training."
No other clues were giving as to why Cheryl showed up at the training session, but maybe all will be revealed on Saturday night's live show.
It's been a trying week for Cheryl following her live TV comeback on last Sunday's X Factor results show.
According to the Daily Mail at least 45 people have now complained about her performance, which featured the singer licking the tattoo on her hand.
Since her performance, Cheryl herself has hit out at all the "relentless abuse" she has received, writing on Instagram: "I let a lot of things lie but the sheer level of unbalanced negativity towards me in the tabloid press these past few days has been quite frankly shocking and I need to address it."
