Strictly 2025

[Halli]

I think that megamix was a reminder of how reliant they were on covers. Three of the five songs they performed weren't theirs!

I don't think so - I don't think it was their best medley to be fair, they could have chosen a few other originals and chucked out Devil. Its funny that back in the day you'd always want them to sing live now im slightly horrified when i see them miming

 

[Devil]

I thought they were brilliant and as usual a good bit of FUN, but not everyone likes that

 

[Ellie]

He's the main publisher of the dance-off spoilers. I'd assume he either gets paid by web ads or directly by other media orgs.

The BBC have seemingly never worked out who in their production team is leaking the info to him in the first place.

I presume he has another “job” or form of income for the other 9 months of the year? I read his replies and what a strange strange individual.

 

[lolly]

It's Steps, on Strictly, in Blackpool. Of course it's going to be OTT cheese. But it was also great fun.

I didn’t have an issue with the medley other than the inclusion of BTDYK.

 

[lolly]

And how PHENOMENAL does Faye Tozer look at 50?

 

[Lucille]

To think she’s 5 years older than LA VOIX!

I bet it's Neil Jones.

 

[Shoat]

Apparantly NOT. He really does just rely on doing this to see him through the entire year. Seemingly never occurred to him what he might do should Strictly end / abandon split-day broadcasts / fire his source. Bizarre little man.

 

[VoR]

There really should not be that much money in posting Strictly Come Dancing spoilers.

 

[Halli]

Would be hilarious if his spoilers stopped once Tess and Claudia leave.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Another injured Strictly Come Dancing star at risk of withdrawal after La Voix

They're dropping like flies.

metro.co.uk

Hopefully she can make a full recovery.

 

[Shoat]

It's like THE GAMES twenty years later

Last one in a Nuffield hospital gets the trophy

 

[Ellie]

He’s probably someone on Universal Credit and this tops up the balance as undeclared income. How exactly would you declare it?

 

[FetchFugly]

The celebs do seem to be much more injury prone in recent years. I guess that explains why Alex's performance looked a little restrained. Her VT with duck t-shirt husband was very touching though.

Lewis was excellent last night, worthy of the 40, though not as good as the Creep CC. I do want to see a ballroom/Latin from him that is at a similar level before the series end.

Loved the drama of Karen's Paso. Excellent routine and one of the occasions when the extra bodies added to things. I thought George had a very good week. The score was generous but he was hardly the only beneficiary.

Balvinder might have been excited to do the AT, but unfortunately she was landed with unsuitable music/staging and didn't seem a natural at the style either.

LOVED Steps. Maybe not quite as good as the PSB one last year but still a really fun way to kick off the show.

They seem to have gone really heavy on the tan and make up for Danny Mac and Jay McGuiness respectively.

 

[SvalaWuzRobbed]

Danny Mac is ageing like a fine wine. With the injuries I wonder is it because they're pushing the envelope too far these days in terms of choreography, or are people feeling more tense during training due to all the unpleasantness in recent years

 

[Ellie]

Well they looked almost as good as the professionals there. Jay McGuinness clearly not performed as much since the show compared to the others, but all excellent.

 

[FetchFugly]

The all stars dance lived up to expectations. It has been longer for Jay than the others but I thought he was still great. His section was less high energy by design than the others but he has such a natural dancing style.

Danny Mac

 

[Ellie]

Carly Stenson is there for Danny. It’s a shame she chose to do Dancing on Ice as Strictly would be a better fit for her.

 

[FetchFugly]

Balvinder clearly wanting NO PART of a Jive next week.

 

[Halli]

To pad this out with no elimination, they should have held Steps back for another perf, just something with Claire and Faye on the live vocals, H kept backstage in a straight jacket.

 

[lolly]

Wasn't Motsi just in H's outfit from last night?

 

[lolly]

I think I love Aljaz more than ever

 

[Music]

I wonder if they'd ever do a Strictly All Stars given they had 4 of them back this week.

 

[Finn]

I wish Christmas would go back to being former contestants (no offence to Scarlet Moffatt who I RATHER LIKE)

The returners' dance was fucking wonderful

 

[rhythmbandit]

 

[Ellie]

Will she be dancing a Rumba to 2 Become 1? Oh sorry, I mean “Tonight is the Night”

 

[Music]

Poor brave Mel faces the media spotlight

 

[Halli]

We can't escape Mel Blatt at the moment! She's only doing this to promote her BURGER BUSINESS though, of course.

 

[Shoat]

She is definitely just doing this as an IN for an Elstree burger van

 

[ButterTart]

I’m really pleased she has something new to be bitter about.

 

[Shoat]

Mel Blatt becoming the most relevant Moopy villainess was not on the 2025 bingo card

 

[Ellie]

Fury from Gladiators also now announced for the Christmas show.

 

[Finn]

WE WANT LEGEND

 

[rhythmbandit]

Matt is currently recovering from a pretty serious injury, so if he was to compete it might be more likely next year. Hopefully the main series.

 

[Finn]

Oh I know, I'm still heartbroken about the new series

 

[lolly]

 

[ButterTart]

I’m old enough to remember when the Christmas special was for people who couldn’t realistically do a full series or were just too big to commit. These names are all shockingly low rent

 

[Blake]

Matt is currently recovering from a pretty serious injury, so if he was to compete it might be more likely next year. Hopefully the main series.

I reckon they’ll go for Sabre next year.

 

[FetchFugly]

Final celeb being announced tomorrow.

I can't imagine seeing half of this year's regular cast leaving with disfigurements, permanent disabilities, and missing limbs has done anything to persuade the celebrity elite
