Strictly 2017 - Nearly Show-Time!

[CaveMum]

The couples have been announced and rehearsals have started. So strap on your dancing shoes, it's time for Strictly 2017 💃🏻🕺🏼

Well I was going to complain about Gorka not wearing a jacket till I caught sight of his arse. Thank you Vicki Gill!

She was good.

Bless her. So sad about her mum.

I think Alexandra's being very controlled, frankly. There's no way in hell I'd be doing something like this if my Mum had died a few weeks ago.

If her mum only died a few weeks ago, tears are definitely given a pass

Oh gawd I can't stand Burke. Does anyone remember her judging on the XF . Com ? She's full of false modesty I find her immensely irritating. I find Shirley irritating as well

I really like the criticism from the new judge. She seems to be helpful and constructive without too much bullshit.

Gosh, i didn't realise about her mum. How sad for her.

Um. No. Actively hating this.

He's stomping everywhere. At least the face is serious

oh dear - what a choice of song for a start ....

Crikey

The age old 'just stand still and I'll dance around you'.

I think they've given him cha cha music by mistake

Just checking in!

The excited head touch between Gorka and Alexandra after they got their marks was very sweet but quite a personal and intimate movement. I wouldn't be happy if my husband did that with another woman. Of course he may be single.

He is sweet.

Simon!! That was brilliant and hilarious

I think Darcey’s hair looks nice, is it a bit shorter?

Simon, I mean!

I like Shirley's glasses. She's got very useful feedback

Bruno, brutal

Was Karen pretending Simon was Will Young when she did the shit-fit in the middle?

Glow.

Charlotte is so gorgeous.

How many "this girls" will Brendan drop today?

I don't think Charlotte is going to be very good despite looking the part. She looks very awkward in her glitterball intro bit.

Pretty
