Ultimate Strictly has all the stats on songs and dances.

I can't see a champions section though.

Strictly Champions for Yearofyou.

I also love Halloween week. I love all things Halloween tbf (Irish)

Yes to the above - I'm not Monkseal, I don't have spreadsheets!! - I've seen each series, use wiki a lot and adore the Ultimate Strictly site - I've mentioned it on here several times and thanked Claire who runs it: She's even more of a superfan than me

can you image them doing... "Remembrance Week"?

They DO do that – there's always a sentimental pro dance themed around people going to/coming back from war and their loved ones mooning about. And they invite veterans to sit on the front row and there's a very solemn and respectful standing ovation.

But my point is that they don't do EVERY dance with a Remembrance theme as they do with Hallowe'en.

(Thank you Kitchen...separated at birth!)

Thank you Purple. Seems I didn't miss as much as I thought.

No, indeed, Fuzzy. That'd be too cloying even for Strictly.

Too right it would be nikita...but they still manage to do it for bloody Hallowe'en! Grrrr......

(One crappy pro dance in zombie make up might just be ok at least I could go and make a cup of tea but not the whole show)

Watching ITT now. I’ve really warmed to Stacey. She’s totally self-effacing and lovely 😊

I think this could be Kevin’s year. I like Stacey and can see her in the final.

If Kevin and Stacey win, hopefully KFG follows his sister and leaves after winning then Neil can get a celeb

Delurking to say (most probably) thanks to you lot I had an utterly filthy dream about KFG and I can’t look at him in the same way now

I like Stacey. She seems really genuine and has improved.

I love Dr Ranj because of my DD’s but I feel like everyone on the show is politely ignoring the fact that sadly he’s not that good, just because he’s so nice!

Ozzy - that's lovely!

I think I'm in the minority of liking Halloween week.. but I do wish they'd use some new music.
I'd LOVE a dance to 'Bad Things' Jace Everett (True Blood theme tune).

Also enjoy it coveting, can't beat a bit of spooky costume and face paint Really looking forward to this week!

Neil seemed to go to a premier on his own last night.. might be nothing, but seems like an event he'd have previously gone with Katya to.

Ive just seen pictures of Neil and someone from LI posing together at an ice rink event

I love Halloween and I love Halloween Week. But my enthusiasm is definitely tempered by them wheeling out the same songs again and again.

@Purplemond what's LI?

Love Island?

Neil has been to the premier of Bohemian Rhapsody with other Strictly pros and their celeb partners and there were others- not necessarily from Strictly, who were with him ice skating.

Not sure about Neil's status with Katya but I think the press is desperate for a bit of Strictly curse drama, having tried to hint at relationships between other pros and contestants.
