Key events
Will Best dances a daddy-themed cha-cha next week
Baby Sonny was watching his dad last night. Sort of. Graeme Hall is tackling the tango.
ShareRelieved couples on the balcony
Up in Jojo’s Dojo/the Johannexe (delete according to taste), the safe pairs enjoy some cha-cha-chat.
ShareWill Best is safe
Who’s the daddy? So are Graeme Hall, Cach Mercer and Jaime Winstone.
ShareRed light spells danger
The scarlet spotlight of doom is fired up. We’re about to find out who’s safely through.
The paddle-wielding panel of Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas take their judgely seats. They’re removed their fancy dress, thankfully. Would have rather undermined their judgely gravitas.
ShareOur Strictly stars™
Down to ballroom business as our dancefloor dozen await their fates. More wigs than a High Court powder room.
ShareIcons Week rewound
Last night’s live show gets recapped. Cach does Frank Sriracha! Jaime does Bowie! Tabby does Raye! Lawrence’s hi-vis salsa! Graeme’s 70s frightwig! Will Best gets new father bonus points!
ShareFrockwatch
Here come our well-tailored trio, so time for a swift sartorial smackdown. Emma Willis is in simple black. Josh Widdicombe is in a navy blazer. Johannes Radebe is in a white tux with tropical print. Jojo wins.
Maddie Ingoldsby brings us bang up to date with Danceteria. Well, that was a ray of Sunday night light.
A Stetson-clad Jowita Przystal gets thrown through the air. Alexis Warr channels the Confessions era.
They’ve transformed into Madge’s different guises. Lauren Oakey’s in a cone bra. Nancy Xu is sporting a La Isla Bonita red dress. There’s vogueing, tambourines cowboy hats, corsets and all manner of wigs.
SharePros in bed with Madonna
The opening performance for Icons Week sees the Strictly pros pay tribute to the Queen of Pop’s many different eras, from her 1983 debut to the present day. And you can dance for inspiration. Come on, I’m waiting.
ShareAnd we’re off!
Roll opening titles. Chris Appleton and Melanie Walters have already been banished from the choreographic castle. Which of these lot will be next on the chopping block? The floor is yours.
Buckle up, buttercups. We’re about to be beamed back to Elstree Studios…
