Until Saturday keeeeeep posting!
🗼 < Lou and Kev's "eyeful" actual size.

Well done going - you are are going! Or actually already there!

Having said that I can't remember any stand out dances over the years. - well all posts since then has learned me!

Didn't Cumberbatch "marry" Rinder and his boyfriend (now husband)? He got ordained or licensed or whatever online especially for the purpose, I believe.

Hope you have a brilliant time going

yes BC married Rinder and Seth(?).

According to the daily mail online, they all hate Ed Balls, Danny Mac is a ringer, Daisy fancies her partner, they are all bitching..same as last year then! Its so sad its gone from light entertainment to this constant ' they are all fake ' senario.

but everything in The Daily Fail is fake and shouldn't have any veracity applied to it, surely?

On with the show!

Not at all envious of going, oh no.

Have a great time!

screeches in and sits down to join in .

Here we go

Dead or Alive is very sad about this opening dance.

Pasha looks hot. Natalie is amazing.

Strictly did put out a statement earlier today that they had been planning on using this opening song for weeks and took the decision to keep it despite the death of Pete Burns earlier this week.

Evening.

Spooky coincidence to be dancing to this song the week Pete Burns died?

Loving the outfits, Halloween is such a great time to dress up!

Oh. Forgot. Feel a bit insensitive now.

well don't be Grouchy - I didn't know who Pete Burns was until I googled ...

I did NOT recognise Joanne underneath that makeup!

Danny and Oti look incredible. They've done a marvellous job on makeup this year.

Love Alijaz and Daisy's make up/ outfit.

Agree grouchy - everyone looks great tonight

I always mute these sketches

No mumsy dresses for Louise

Not loving the music, feels a bit flat!

wrong music for this , a bit meh about it ...

Most unflattering outfit ever.

Heh?

Hmm, the left me a bit cold again. Nothing technically wrong with it but just no wow factor.

I love the Charleston but that left me cold.
