Strictly Come Dancing fans couldn’t believe their eyes when they noticed Harry Potter legend David Bradley was sitting in the live studio audience on Saturday night (October 21).
BBC viewers gasped when the cameras turned on 81-year-old David, who played Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch in the Potter films. Bradley, who also played Walder Frey in HBO’s Game of Thrones, was cheering on Casualty star Nigel Harmen, his good pal.
Nigel, 50, had just finished performing the foxtrot with show pro Katya Jones. Unfortunately, the actor stumbled into Katya during the routine and this was picked up by the judges, but they still scored 29 points.
