Hi Strictly fans! Thanks for joining me for the first live show of the series. Don’t forget to leave your comments below…
22.00 What a fab start – I’m soooo glad it’s back, but it went so quickly! Can’t wait to see Jason and co tomorrow! But in the mean time, make sure you tell me below what you thought of tonight’s show…
21.56 Holly and Anita at the top, Lulu and Robbie at the bottom – that’s a result for Russell!
21.55 What a camp fest! Alesha even wants to go clubbing with him….poor Flavia.
21.52 What’s with the face Russell? Loving the 70s moves…
21.50 This is the one we’ve all been waiting for. Give us what you’ve got Russell! OMG loving the archive VTs…
21.48 Wow, she’s even impressed Craig! I’m agreeing with him a lot this evening. Should I be worried?
21.46 Good arms and very elegant Anita. She looks like she’s enoying herself too. Beautiful…
21.44 I’m a big fan of Anita. Come on Ange…
21.42 Craig is right – Ola did a lot of the work.
21.40 Excellent choice of song – Bad Boys by Alexandra Burke. Plus matching hoodie. Very hard to look at anyone but awesome Ola though…
21.37 Not a bad score for Audley in the end. Looking forward to Ola and Robbie – this should be fun…
21.36 Good old Len sticking up for Audley! He’s told him to punch Craig. I dare you Audley… Enough with the boxing puns, Tess.
21.33 Natalie’s stunning and considering how little rehearsal time they’ve had Audley doesn’t look bad at all…
21.30 Glad to see Bruce’s jokes haven’t changed…
21.29 17 for Lulu. Yes, hiding behind a sparkly cushion might be the best idea…
21.28 Brrrrruuuuno is doing a Lulu impression. THIS is what we tune in for. And Craig labels it a ‘dance disaaaahster’. Len: ‘Plenty of boom bang a bang but nothing to shout about.’ He’s been practising that all week…
21.25 No nerves from Lulu, what a performer! Not sure she’s really mastered the steps though. She’s lost it…she’s going to be in trouble with Brendan…
21.24 Brendan ‘thinks’ he’s a very nice person…Lulu doesn’t seem so sure!
21.23 Poor Dan was a bit disappointed but 24 isn’t bad for the first show. Hooray it’s time for Lulu!
21.21 Good old Len, he’s got us giggling already. Dan and Katya were all smiles until Craig used the word ‘hideous’. What a meanie…
21.18 Here come Dan and Katya. Good use of props and a fabulous dress from Katya…
21.15 Strong starting score of 28 and Holly reckons she’s got more to give. She’s going to be amazing in a few weeks time…
21.12 So glad that Brrrrrrrruno is back and on form. Trust Craig to be picky!
21.10 Holly’s great already and she definitely looks the part in that gold dress. How will the others top that?!
21.07 So Holly and Artem are up first…this should be good.
21.05 Nice eye make up Russell! And Anita looks amazing…
21.01 Here we go! Loving the titles for this series…
20.55 5 minutes to go. Can’t wait to see Lulu and Brendan bring fireworks to the floor! Who are you looking forward to seeing?
20.45 15 minutes to go. Who’s excited?
