What a shock!Strictly Come Dancing‘s Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola had the shock of their lives when a fox strolled into their training room.
The pair were busy practicing their dance for this weekend when the wild animal suddenly appeared at the door.
Lacey, 38, and her pro partner Vito, 34, had to halt their training while they tried to shoo it away.
The couple’s unexpected guest was revealed on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two.
Host Ellie Taylor shared a video of Lacey, who was wearing her training gear, confronting the fox at the door.

Ellie explained what had happened to Lacey and Vito during her It Takes Two News round-up.
She said: “It’s been a wild one for Lacey and Vito in today’s training room.”
The big screen then showed a clip of EastEnders actress Lacey. She walked towards the fox, wagging her finger and telling it to “get out”.
“Out, out!” she said. “Out. Get out!”
Vito is heard chuckling away in the background. Ellie, meanwhile, quipped: “I thought they were doing the samba, not the foxtrot!”
Lacey and Vito’s song and dance for Strictly Week 3
Lacey and Vito are indeed doing the samba for Week 3 of Strictly Come Dancing. The couple’s next dance was revealed during Sunday night’s Strictly: The Results.
Once safe from the public vote, Lacey learned what Vito has planned for them. And she looked utterly terrified!
Strictly presenter Johannes Radebe asked: “Vito, what will Lacey be dancing to next week?”
Looking at Lacey, Vito told her: “Next week, we will be dancing the samba.”
Lacey put her hands over her eyes as the news sunk in. Vito explained: “She said to me, ‘I don’t want to do another fast one’ and I said, ‘Yeah, don’t worry’. And now I’m saying the samba!”
Lacey, who is famed for playing Stacey Slater in EastEnders, will be dancing the samba with Vito to Bamboléo by the Gipsy Kings.
We hope her feet make it through. It was only last week that poor Lacey was suffering with infected blisters!
