Strictly Come Dancing star Krishnan Guru-Murthy has shared an extraordinary video of Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing his support for him on the BBC show.
The Channel 4 presenter and his professional dance partner Lauren Oakley appeared to be thrilled by the A-lister’s support, in what felt like a real pinch-me moment.
Krishnan explained that he had been interviewing The Terminator actor for Channel 4 news when he kindly agreed to film a short clip for the pair.
In the video shared with the journalist’s 28,200 followers, the Austrian-American actor can be heard saying: “I want to wish good luck to Lauren and Krishnan at their event.
“I mean, I know they’re going to out-do everybody,” he added.
Underneath the video, he wrote: “What an amazing guy! Just met @schwarzenegger for an interview on @channel4news about his new book #Be Useful.
“He continued: “[I] explained I was doing the UK equivalent of #dancingwiththestars and he kindly obliged with this (largely to delight @laurenmayoakley).
“Of course, if you vote to keep us in again this week WE’ll BE BACK,” Krishnan added, referencing the terminator’s famous catchphrase from the classic 1984 science fiction film.
Fans excitedly took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Krishnan’s star-powered support.
