Strictly restarts this Saturday when it will be the pairing up of celebs and pros..... which may even be less cringe-making than usual. grin

I don't know many of this year's celebs, but nothing new to that, and no doubt I shall get hooked in as usual.

Just put it on .

I used to really look forward to it and anticipated watching it with my wine and chocolates .
Now I'm just not as excited by it anymore .I only recognised four of the celebrities which is no criticism on their choice , but the hype and the padding irritates me .

Good points Esmay and I agree, which is why I am on my I pad at the same time.

Liked Sam’s dress.

Nick was better than I expected. The jive is a hard first dance.
Sam was lovely.

Poor Neil.

I think his return to front line pro line up will be brief, if tonight is anything to go by.

Toyah thought she was going to be brilliant, but sadly wasn’t.

Tasha and Aljaz looked incredible cha-cha-cha-ing together, but the complaints will start because Tasha is a trained dancer and model, so she has a head start.

I can't warm to Toyah at all.

Tasha was good but it really is unfair when people have dance training.

Anton is being his usual annoying self.

Toyah was really bad, Tasha is off to a good start

Great to see Aljaz and Amy back, both with good partners too.

Oh that waltz was beautiful and Amy's dress was gorgeous. Lovely song /music.
Really enjoyed that.

Toyah had a lot to overcome when she was young.
It's a wonder she has achieved what she has.

Yes. He does Podcasts as well apparently.

Is Pete Wicks related to Joe Wicks?

I had no idea who he was either.

Seems to love himself though.

I loved that quickstep -quite a surprise - wasn't expecting that from Sarah Hadland. So good.

JB and Amy were brilliant. I am going against the grain here I liked Pete Wicks, he had attitude.

I agree Sweetpeasue - Sarah's quickstep was gorgeous.

I agree with this. I always liked Toyah when I was younger.

Merlotgran, I agree, awful, but
oddly I seemed to enjoy it. The public will probably keep him in

Paul Merson was funny and entertaining.
