Week 6 This week’s Strictly was a test run. We all know Brucie won’t be around forever, and can there be a show without him? I hate to wish a sudden career end on anyone, but the answer is a resounding YES. And why? Because of the quick-witted, adlibbing, gently caustic, genuinely warm presenting goddess […]
Week 5 Phew! After last week’s horror fest – in execution more than premise – Strictly got back on track with a theme-free weekend, bar the occasional grating fireworks gag (mainly bleated out by Tess during links. Has Bruce rubbed off on her, or can they not even trust him with the puns these days?). […]
Week 4 Something wicked this way comes… Two theme shows in a row, and sadly Strictly went from bad to totally crackers.
Week 3 Hollywood Week on Strictly was the equivalent of a resolutely reformed character falling off the wagon. Cardinal sins included: The return of the horrific “comedy” VTs and gimmicks.

The celebrity line-up for this year’s “Strictly Come Dancing” has been announced, a cast that runs from Olympic gold medallists to actors and singers. Audiences will get their first glimpse of the stars in action in the launch show this weekend, which will also reveal which professional dancer will partner which celebrity.
Choreographers who have worked on “Strictly Come Dancing” and the Olympic opening ceremony will teach courses at London’s Greenwich Dance this autumn.
Sometimes when Karen Hauer speaks I want to cheer. The newest recruit to the team of “Strictly” professional dancers, with raven locks and legs that rival the Shard, has been hailed excitedly by our red tops as a sizzling Latin pin-up. (And I’m sure the thought may have occurred to the “Strictly” producers when they […]
