Strictly Come Dancing star Amber Davies broke down in tears during Sunday night’s result show after the return of a ‘missing’ part of the show.
The BBC aired a Halloween special, where fans were left shocked by Ellie Goldstein and Vito Coppola in the dance-off against Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.
Ahead of the performances, fans were left excited by a returning addition to the dancing competition.
The segment of an interview with the other two couples who were potentially facing the bottom was brought back.
This series has had a slight change of format, with the cast being whittled down to a bottom four, with both bottom contenders being revealed at the same time.
This is similar to previous years, where the results were split in two, with a dance-off contestant being announced at the end of each half.

Amber got emotional during her chat as she spoke about fearing she’d ‘let Nikita down’, although he assured her she ‘could never do’
But in the new format, safe contestants were sent to talk to Claudia about the week and what lies ahead while the final four weren’t given the same opportunity.
After bosses noticed an outcry from fans, every contestant who is marked as safe is given the opportunity for a chat.

The return of the format made fans extremely happy on social media, with viewers taking to X to share their thoughts.
One person shared: ‘They’re talking to Harry and Amber?! Have they actually listened to people’s feedback that not talking to them is cruel? #Strictly.’
Another wrote: ‘THANK YOU @bbcstrictly for finally listening to us and talking to all the couples who make it through!!’
A third penned: ‘Least they’re talking to the other dancers this week, it’s been unfair that they have missed out on the sofa chat the previous weeks.’
It comes after Amber’s boyfriend Ben Joyce was seen attending the star’s rehearsal on Monday, just days after her professional partner Nikita was pictured planting a tender kiss on her head.

In the wake of her intimate snaps with Nikita, sources close to Amber reacted to the images, telling the Daily Mail that any suggestion she has fallen victim to the show’s ‘curse’ is nonsense.
An onlooker told the publication: ‘Ben was seen dropping a large suitcase off at the venue and was joined by their dog Oreo at the rehearsal space.
‘He looked a bit pensive — who knows if he was checking up on her — but he was revisiting the “scene of the crime”.
‘A lot of blokes would find it hard, leaving their missus training for hours on end, dancing with a hunky bloke, especially when they have so much chemistry on the dancefloor.’
Last week, Amber revealed Ben is unfazed by speculation about her close bond with Nikita.
While sources claimed that Amber and Nikita’s chemistry has set tongues wagging behind the scenes, the performer has insisted she won’t fall victim to the show’s famous curse.
Amber insisted that Ben is ‘not a****d’ about talk of the famous Strictly curse, and said she’s also close to Nikita’s girlfriend Lauren Jaine.
She said: ‘The only good thing is Ben is not a****.
‘So I feel like I can brush it off as it is not affecting us in any way which is nice. I mean he is horizontal Ben.’
Amber went on to tell The Sun: ‘I love Lauren Nikita’s girlfriend so much. I text her all the time. All day, every day. Lauren spends more time with me than her fella. She actually came into my dressing room before she went to see Nikita [the other day]. I have stolen her.’
Strictly Come Dancing returns Saturday on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
