Strictly 2020, Bubbles and no Bruno?

[Mrsemcgregor]

I’m not sure if there is a thread already, please direct me to it if there is!

It’s summer which means its the time of year I start musing about which celebs might be up for the glitter ball trophy this year! I was a bit worried we might not be getting a series this year but a quick google reassured me plans are in place.

So it looks like they are hoping for bubbles between the stars and professionals families, possibly weekly CV testing and temp checks. Hair, make up and costume to be done with PPE. Sounds like they could put on a fairly similar show to normal. No audience though, which will be weird. And I guess no gathering of contestants for the scores, which will be weird. Will the whole thing lack atmosphere?

Strictly means life is ok. It’s some kind of mental health reassurance.

I'm playing "guess the male pro by their hair". 2/2 so far.

Haha not just me then! I’m doing the same

Given how it's basically Strictly Come Fame Academy Boot Camp this year, all routines could be 🔥

I feel weirdly emotional about it too. So lovely to be back but just a huge reminder of the state of the world at the moment

It's good to be back, even in reduced circumstances, eh derxa smile Yes good to see you all back too

No one would be getting the Covid if we used 80s shoulder pads for protection.

It would probably be a form of contraception too.

Just not the same shoulder pad.

The production value seems higher than usual for the group dances.

Loving this 20s group dance!

Anton been denied access to Just For Men I see.

Anton channelling Brucie again.

I feel weirdly reassured by it being back too - tv hasn't been great unless you've been streaming due to filming issues so to have something regular back on the tv is brilliant.

Unfortunate turn someone forgot to hide the mic from Anton

I’m so pleased to see it back. It’s just reassuring and happy.

This is the one for the hip youngsters!!! 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

Neil trying (and badly failing) to be sexy there

According to my subtitles HRVY is best known for "being a sinner".

This is the ex Mr Girls Aloud!!

Tess channelling Cruella De Vil I see

Loved the group dance!

Oh dear is Neil going to be pushing in everywhere again as he hasnt got a partner!

Loved that group dance.

I like Jason!

Oh no.

I have to confess I’m not looking forward to JL.

Is he wearing a pussy bow?

Is it just me or does Jamie Laing look rather like Judge Rinder...?
