Alan Cumming will make a surprise voice cameo on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
The 61-year-old Scottish actor will be heard during a group performance on Sunday’s (November 15) results show, reading a romantasy-inspired passage that launches the routine.
Dancing to a slowed-down rendition of Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, professional Vito Coppola will play a character reading a novel at a bus stop when the story suddenly comes to life.
Carlos Gu will portray the novel’s protagonist, whisking Coppola’s character away into a fantasy world filled with magic and faeries.
The results show will also feature music from Celebrity Traitors winner Sebastian “Bash” Croft alongside a routine performed by some of the Strictly professionals.
The night will end with two couples battling it out in the dance-off before another contestant leaves the competition.
