In anticipation of the new Series and celebrity announcements coming very soon, we’re making some Strictly wishes and looking at 5 dances we would absolutely love to see in Series 23 of Strictly.

Series 22 of Strictly was an incredible one for lovers of facts and figures.  Better late than never (sometimes life gets in the way!), here are some of our favourite from the last series.

Enjoy!

After 12 weeks of predictions, we have our very own winner in James. Well done James!

Steve was thwarted in his quest to prove that someone who has never watched Strictly could out-predict the uber-nerds but we hope (and think) he had fun on the way!

The team are back for one last prediction podcast waltz – and it’s all about the FINAL. Who will be top and bottom of the judges leaderboard and who will win the series?

After awarding two ‘tens’ in the series 22 semi-final, Craig has now awarded a total of 98 ‘tens’ throughout his time on Strictly. The most recent final which had fewer than two ‘tens’ from Craig was series five; so surely number one-hundred will be awarded in Saturday’s finale, but which of Chris, JB, Sarah or Tasha will receive it?

A good scoring week for the team and Liv got it spot on securing her first perfect score – well done Liv! This perfect score means Liv has pulled into third place as Steve slips to the bottom.

Are there too many lifts? Is Craig right to pick on thumbs and bums? Is Pete going to the final? Find answers to these (maybe), and other big Strictly questions, in the latest episode…

This week Aljaž Škorjanec will become just the fourth professional dancer on Strictly to reach the milestone of performing one hundred routines on the show.

In celebration of this accomplishment, let’s take a look back at some of his most memorable dances.

Montell’s gone, Pete still lives on, and the team scored very similarly to each other this week. Three of us – James, Steve and Matt – got five points and  Liv got four. Interestingly we got those points in different ways….

Here’s a few stats & facts from 20 years of Strictly Quarter-Finals to enjoy on QF Day!
