Viewers were thrilled to see him and gushed over his reaction to Kelvin’s dance.

One person said on Twitter: “How beautiful was this Viennese waltz from #teamfloti… especially loved the reaction from Danny at the end.

“Love seeing #emmerdale cast in the audience hopefully we will see some more in the upcoming weeks.”

Another tweeted: “Danny living his best life and very much proud of Kelvin at #strictly!”

A third wrote: “Danny in audience, expect Twitter to explode!!” while a fourth gushed: “Oh my, he is sssooo cute. Look at his proud smile. #DannyMiller. (sic)”

Following their performance last night, Oti was left emotional after judge Shirley Ballas’ criticism of their Viennese Waltz to Christina Aguilera and Great Big World’s Say Something.

Their performance got them an impressive 34 points, however, it was one of Kelvin’s lower entries in the series.

Especially loved the reaction from Danny at the end.

Shirley told the pair: “We have an expression in Viennese Waltz, the two Fs – it’s fly flat.

There’s very minimal rise and fall in the Viennese Waltz, and there’s just a little bit too much rise and fall for me.

“Also the fleckerl that you chose to dance, and if you choose to dance it, it’s a rotary figure that should actually have more power, and it looked a little bit stuck, for me.

“Although I totally enjoyed the emotive part and I give you 100% for that, also I want to take into account the other one minute and 25 seconds that you’re dancing. But otherwise, I thought you did a grand job.”

The camera cut to Oti as she wiped away a tear, as host Tess Daly said: “The emotion got you!”
