So, I've heard of 8 of the celebrities but some of those I've literally just heard the names - don't know what they actually do.

Given my interests though, it's unlikely I would be able to identify a reality "celebrity" (I mean the Love Island type shows) a blogger/vlogger/influencer or most sports people.

Anyone know all of them?

There are nearly always sob stories I think.

Calendargirl Fri 21-Nov-25 17:38:08

Sob stories are when the celebrities speak about how desperate they are to get to Blackpool as Granny and Granddad danced there on their honeymoon 60 years ago.

Cue a video of white haired Granny saying what a wonderful celebrity GS/GD they have, never given a moment’s trouble, and how they deserve to ‘get through’.

Evening everyone!
So no one will be leaving this week, and La Voix is completely out, not just missing this week.

That’s so sad. I have loved watching her.

Wow! Katya and Lewis! What a terrific routine.

TillyTrotter Sat 22-Nov-25 19:02:57

They are fantastic!

merlotgran Sat 22-Nov-25 19:04:08

What a fantastic Charleston.

rafichagran Sat 22-Nov-25 19:04:41

Brilliant. Lewis and Katya.

YorkLady Sat 22-Nov-25 19:05:55

Fantastic. We are in for a good night of entertainment 😊

Certainly seems to be a good atmosphere tonight and great start from Lewis and Katya.

Sparklefizz Sat 22-Nov-25 19:12:43

Wow! Balvinder has made progress. I love the Argentine Tango.

Maremia Sat 22-Nov-25 19:13:30

Good decision. No-one going home.

Sparklefizz Sat 22-Nov-25 19:16:41

I notice Dianne has got a baby bump now, standing at the back of the balcony.

TillyTrotter Sat 22-Nov-25 19:27:07

Craig said what I thought he would, there was gapping between Amber & Nikita but it was the fastest quick step!!

Grandmabatty Sat 22-Nov-25 19:28:26

I really enjoyed Lewis's Charleston. Bal's Argentine Tango not so much. I thought it lacked intensity. Amber's nan on a bus was a step too far for me.

TillyTrotter Sat 22-Nov-25 19:31:14

I missed that Grandmabatty ) I was taking a loo break ).
They must have all done their ‘sob stories’ now surely?

Sparklefizz Sat 22-Nov-25 19:35:24

Karen and Carlos - fantastic! So dramatic and theatrical. Loved Karen's Paso face! And wonderful music too. Well done.

YorkLady Sat 22-Nov-25 19:35:55

Karen was amazing tonight. Deserves 10’s.

Sparklefizz Sat 22-Nov-25 19:38:19

Definitely deserves 10s.

rafichagran Sat 22-Nov-25 19:39:56

Amazing Karen and Carlos deserve that praise.

Susan56 Sat 22-Nov-25 19:46:06

Wow!Karen and Carlos were amazing!

Sparklefizz Sat 22-Nov-25 19:47:58

Craig was an idiot with his 9 for Karen and Carlos.

Maremia Sat 22-Nov-25 19:56:47

Best dance of the night.

Allira Sat 22-Nov-25 19:59:57

Best dance of the night.

I agree, so far anyway.

I can just hear one of my DGC when they become a celeb on Strictly:
"My Granny used to ride on the donkeys on that beach when she was a small child"
Cue for tears (for the poor donkeys).
