After the much publicized appearance and number of James Reid and Nadine Lustre in 'It's Showtime!,' the young actor was absent in the program. JaDine followers were left very disappointed, as they had long-awaited for the couple to perform again.

Where was James Reid? The show said that the actor was not feeling well and had to skip the opening number.

The more controversial issue is that netizens are pointing out the reason for the absence of Reid. Apparently, Reid and Lustre were out partying the night before. The couple attended the parties of two friends, which probably made the actor too tired to honor his professional commitment. Some are even saying Reid overslept.

Reid and Lustre even rehearsed a few days before the show, which indicated that they were much aware of their responsibility.

With the absence of Reid, fans can only express their dismay and try to understand their idol. Vice Ganda could only make a sarcastic remark on the missing Reid. Incidentally, Lustre was absent the day after the Mega ball, but since she did not have any scheduled number, her absence was not as much of a big deal as Reid's no-show.
