Reverend Richard Coles visited his friend Mandy Bryant as she lay in a hospice dying of cancer to perform a dance and renew her wedding vows with her husband.
Rev. Richard, who is fast becoming a fan favourite on Strictly, paid an emotional visit to Mandy on 24 September where she was staying at Butterfly Hospice in Boston, Lincs.
He posed for pictures, performed a dance and even renewed Mandy's wedding vows with her husband of 24 years, Mick.

Rev. Coles, who had been friends with Mandy for 12 years, used to live close to the Bryant family and was a former curate in the town before moving to Northamptonshire.
Tragically, Mandy died only four days later, passing away on 28 September after a four-year battle with breast and liver cancer.
The couple's son Nathan, said: "Mum and Dad wanted to renew their wedding vows next year to mark their 25th wedding anniversary, but after being told their time together was now short, we took steps to bring the occasion forward.
"Mum was admitted into the hospice with days left and I asked Richard to renew their vows quickly. Richard was only too obliging, having been a family friend for over 12 years."
Nathan, 21, continued: "There was a lovely moment when Richard gave us a demonstration of his dance moves in the room for Mum. He joked that he had two left feet and needed more practice.
"Surrounded by friends and family, he renewed their vows - I'll never forget the smile on Mum and Dad's faces."
Nathan added: "Richard has always been considered a special friend of the family, and we're so grateful for his compassion and support, finding time to come and support the family in our time of need, whilst he's got a full schedule with Strictly and his ministry duties."
Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.
