Strictly 2026- Remembering Sparklefizz.

I love love love Emma Willis! But I’m
also a huge fan of JoJo.

I do like Josh, but feel he was an odd choice, but love this show, the judges crack me up and I’m willing to give it all a fair chance.

Loving it so fair, think if they all gel it’ll be FAB U LOUS darling!

Emma is a great presenter. Not sure about Josh and Johannes yet, think it may take time for them to settle in.
Think La Voix should have been the other presenter to Emma.
Hoping it all goes smoothly tonight.

Not a dance observation, but Emma’s dress looks rather an insipid colour to me.

Think she would look better with a stronger colour.

Just my personal opinion, of course.

Im glad to see Sparklefizz in the title too.
Its so sad to watch without her but lovely to know how many remember her .
I too wonder what she would make of this new format.
RIP Sparklefizz 💐

Pleased so many of us are thinking of Sparklefizz

So sorry to hear sad news of Sparklefizz,
I always associate her with the Strictly thread, we will miss her.
I will raise a glass in her honour during the programme.
Thank you Calendargirl, How good it is to have Sparklefizz in the thread title, a lovely tribute.

I didn’t know the sad news about Sparklefizz.
A lovely tribute to keep her name in the thread.

I’ll be watching as I have done since the begining. Not too sure about the changes but will give it a go.

A nice gesture to remember Sparklefizz on this thread, she loved Strictly. We do miss her on the 50 book thread too, where she was an avid contributor.

I will be out tonight, (birthday dinner) but will watch Strictly when I get in and will raise a glass to Sparklefizz

Will watch it, and also will think of Sparklefizz 💕

I didn’t know Sparklefizz, my loss, she sounds like a member I would have enjoyed getting to know.
Lovely that this thread will be a tribute to her.
💐💐

We ought to keep this going as a tribute to her

Absolutely! ❤️

I'm like GG as my mum and I texted each other about Strictly.

Shall watch it tomorrow as we are out tonight. Thinking of Sparklefizz also 💕

We ought to keep this going as a tribute to her. I love the strictly thread. I could mention the interloper as i do every year but I won't.

RIP Sparklefizz we will miss you.

Checking in!

Such a lovely name, Sparklefizz.

Yes I always thought it was a fab-u-lous name.

We are out to dinner with my darling sister and her young family this evening, so I will watch strictly tomorrow on iplayer.

I always think of my mum when it’s on as if she wasn’t with us here, we would message each other throughout 😿

Strictly has changed and I will wait to see if it’s for the better. Wonder what sparklefizz would have made of it.

Will miss her input.

We’ll miss you, sparklefizz

I didn’t know about Sparklefizz RIP dear lady 💐

It's always poignant when events and anniversaries happen for the first time that we associate with certain people. I will raise a glass to Sparklefizz when the Strictly music starts.
