It's Dianne's Birthday today 🎂
 
Been reading through the replies to the pros/judges/hosts announcement on the Strictly Facebook page and the amount of "give Neil a partner" posts I've seen is truly unsettling.
 
Wee rundown of the show (I’ll put any songs/dances in a spoiler just in case anyone doesn’t know/want to see):

It really is such a fun show, with the live band/singers and a lot more engaging than the live tour (for me). They are all amazing of course, but real standouts for me were Carlos, Jowita, Karen and Vito. Karen is such a stunning expressive dancer, she just shone. I remember seeing her first ever series and she was so young and girlish and she’s just fierce now.

Vito is just lovely- fab, funny and obviously just loving being there. His enthusiasm was so infectious and genuine and the crowd loved him. It was pretty much sold out and they got a standing ovation at the end. The balance of numbers was great, my kids loved it and there was lots of variation.

They resurrected a couple of pro numbers that I loved from years back (the Western Cotton Eye Joe/ Timber one and the launch show chic medley which both worked really well, particularly with a live band. They did a Romeo and Juliet dance to a Spanish version of Pillowtalk with Jowita/Gorka as leads that was stunning and so nice to see them paired. My favourite was the Blackpool number to ‘You’re the Voice’ when they had their baby/family pics in the background and dedicated it to Len. It was beautiful and really emotional live. ETA- wouldn’t be a JG production without R&J 😆

My phone won't let me put a spoiler in, but thanks for saying what that particular song was as I'd seen short clips and couldn't work it out 😊

Every time I've seen Karen dance live, she has been absolutely mesmerising. She just has such a magnetic stage presence

Sounds great. My question is:
from the clips I’ve seen, does CFP do the CC with Vito??!!
