Strictly Come Dancing returned to our screens this weekend with a glittering start that helped sweep away memories of the “great unpleasantness”. The show aired on Saturday at the earlier time of 6.15pm, with a promise of a thrilling first elimination weekend. Viewers were delighted to have the show back and took to social media to share their thoughts and engage with the live reactions.
The first live show featured impressive performances from celebrities like Montell Douglas and Wynne Evans, who wowed the judges and viewers alike. There were also standout moments from contestants like Chris McCausland and Paul Merson, who displayed vulnerability and courage on the dancefloor. Judges’ comments and scoring were a topic of debate among fans, with some feeling that Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood were not given the chance to fully express their opinions.
The show’s hosts, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, were back with their witty banter and stylish outfits, adding to the entertainment value of the show. As viewers settled in for the night, they were treated to a selection of alternative TV viewing options and musical documentaries to round off the evening.
Overall, the first episode of Strictly Come Dancing was a hit with viewers, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead. With memorable performances, controversial judges’ comments, and a lively social media presence, the show has once again captured the hearts of its audience. As the countdown to the first elimination begins, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the dance competition.
