Strictly Come Dancing judge and professional dancer Anton du Beke delighted a member of staff during a stay at Kilworth House Hotel.

Anton was staying at the hotel between performances of his festive tour, and gave Emily, a member of the theatre office team at the hotel, an early Christmas present.

Emily, a self-confessed superfan, was able to meet one of her idols, while Anton also took time to chat with other members of hotel staff.

The hotel said: "Thank you to the lovely Anton who took the time to chat with our staff - you were such a pleasure to host - it's a 10 from us!"

Anton’s visit to Kilworth House Hotel came just a few days before he takes his place on the judging panel for the final of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, which is airing on BBC One on the evening of Saturday December 20.
