Leah Remini discovered something scarier than Scientology on Monday night. 

The actress - whose blistering expose of the religion is due to air later this week - was presenting on Dancing With The Stars for its special Halloween episode when she was the victim of a prank.

Speaking to Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy after their dance, the 45-year-old star was seemingly terrified by someone who crept up from behind her in a freakish clown mask.

In the hilarious moment, Leah shrieks before falling to the floor and crawls away in her eagerness to escape the beast (pro dancer Sasha Farber).

'Damn you!' the former King Of Queens star screamed before getting back up and yelling 'Sasha!' in the direction of the culprit.

'You know what, I'm not good with people scaring me' the actress said while wrapping her arm around Tamar's shoulders.

Leah couldn't help but giggle at herself for her extreme overreaction as Val noted 'You're from Brooklyn, that don't scare you' 

A former DWTS contestant herself, Leah stepped in to co-host in Erin Andrews' place this week.  

On Monday, ABC released a clip from Leah's sit down interview with 20/20 which is set to air on Friday.

In it she says: 'Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself…you are evil.'

The star blasted Cruise and revealed he is one of the reasons that she severed ties with Scientology in 2013.  

Dancing with the Stars returns with a new episode on ABC Monday at 8pm.
