Actress Jodie Comer came to watch Stacey, er, kill it!

There could be murder on the dance floor before tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing is through… there’s a serial killer in the crowd.

Well, nearly. Jodie Comer, the actress who plays assassin Villanelle in BBC One’s smash hit Killing Eve, was in the audience.

The Russian murderess has left viewers of the dark comedy thriller enthralled over the past couple of months.

The series came to an end last Saturday, with Villanelle stabbed by her nemesis, spy Eve.

In real life, Jodie is a big pal of Strictly favourite Stacey Dooley, and is lending her support.

The actress, who played the other woman in Doctor Foster, revealed on Twitter earlier that she would be in attendance.

She shared a picture of her and two female companions with caption #TeamStacey

Stacey said: “See you later my sis.” Awww.

Fans of both shows were pretty beside themselves to discover this friendship.

Lots of people made the same joke about her being there to kill someone, mostly Craig or Danny…
