Fans of Strictly Come Dancing were thrilled to bits when it was revealed that radio presenter Richie Anderson had made a comeback to the show for a special segment of Strictly: It Takes Two on Friday, December 2, just hours before the live show began at a different time and on a different day than usual.
Richie, 35, had been partnered with Gionvanni Pernice but became the second celebrity to be voted off by the judges - a devastating blow for the DJ, who had performed the Samba to Hakuna Matata from The Lion King - after failing to beat Katya Jones and football star Tony Adams in the dreaded dance off.
But tonight, he made his welcome return as he swapped his dancing shoes for a microphone as a special Strictly reporter, reporting from inside the ballroom ahead of the quarter-final.
