Steve, our developer, who has never seen a show storms even further into the lead on our Strictly Predictions leaderboard this week (even though he had no idea it was Movie Week!)

Is it beginner’s luck or can his winning streak continue into Week 4?

Although a minority, male pros and female celebrities have held most of the two top spots on the judges’ leaderboards so far in 2024. This reflects a wider trend in which male pros dominate on almost every performance metric.

However, female pros win overall when it comes to Strictly’s most important statistic, and we think they can add to their tally in 2024.

It’s Week 2 of our Predictions game where we predict who will be top and bottom of Saturday’s leaderboard plus who will get the Strictly shove.

There’s extra sparkle today as we discuss who could shine or stumble in Movie Week (although Steve didn’t even know Week 3 of Strictly means we’re all at the movies!)

Like all Strictly fans, we were deeply saddened to hear the news of Robin Windsor’s death. Robin danced as a Pro on the main show between 2010 and 2013 but also took part in a number of memorable Strictly specials between 2011 and 2015. In his tribute Anton described Robin as “always a star” and in ours we highlight just some of the times Robin shone super bright like the brilliant star he was.

Craig was visibly moved by Layton & Nikita’s showstopping Charleston last night and said it was the best one he had seen on the show in 20 years.

Here to enjoy are Strictly’s 12 perfect Charlestons – do you agree with Craig?

Semi-Final Week and who will triumph? We’ve got Layton & Nikita’s Champions’ Charleston versus Ellie & Vito’s Crowd-Pleasing Couple’s Choice; or will we see a Quintessential Quickstep from Bobby & Dianne topped by a Virtuoso Viennese Waltz from Annabel & Johannes?
