In a sparkly nutshell : “Do you remember anything from yesterday?”, Nadiya’s silver fringed boots, “be more duck”, push-ups & hip-hop in the Cha Cha Cha, Positive Pigeon, “Don’t be a koala”, “naturally blessed with the neck of a flamingo” – are you seeing a pattern here ?

Tonight’s opening routine saw the Strictly Come Dancing judges – Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke – dancing through the decades.

Anton in the 1970s, Shirley in the 1980s, Motsi taking us from the 1990s into the new Millenium, and all hosted by compere, Craig Revel Horwood.
