Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will notice one major difference on this weekend's shows. No Bruno Tonioli!

Noooooooo! What will we do without the hilarious and overly energetic dance maestro?

If you're worried this will be a permanent state of affairs then let us reassure you this is just an unfortunate one off. Thank goodness...

It may be the first time in 13 years that Bruno has missed a show but a Strictly spokesperson has made it clear that it's just a case of a 'busy schedule'.

They told the BBC: "As was always the plan, Bruno Tonioli is not on the judging panel this weekend".

It seems there's a clash with the American version of Strictly, Dancing With The Stars, on which Bruno also appears as a judge.

He explained on Twitter: "100% back next week just had a clash whilst in @DancingABC."

The good news is the 61 year old will be back in time for the Halloween special next week. Phew!

And contrary to what you might expect he won't be replaced by a guest judge which means Shirley Ballas, Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood will have a bit more power this week.

Will you miss Bruno on Strictly this week? Let us know over on Facebook and Twitter.
