    Dr Ranj on Joe & Dianne, the romance, the upcoming tour, changes for 2019 & winners Stacey and Kevin!
    Dec 17 2018
    Fan favourite Dr Ranj is with us in the studio as we sum up Strictly 2018 and the new champs Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton! Ranj also gets the lowdown on what to expect from the 2019 Strictly tour from last year’s finalist Debbie McGee, and there’s much discussion about pacing yourself with the inevitable partying… Turns out Ranj lives in the same building at Joe Sugg so had an inkling something romantic was brewing with pro-dancer Dianne... Ranj also talks us through what happened when the cast of 2018 celebrated Stacey and Kevin’s win on Saturday night; yes, Lee Ryan sang some Blue songs and yes, the odd Steps’ tune did get a spin in Faye’s honour. Alongside host Rachel Ward, plus the Telegraph’s Chrissy Amer and Jess McAree, our panel dissect the show dances and look back at their memorable moments from this series. But that’s not all, for this final episode of the series, we’ve got some serious suggestions for potential format changes when Strictly returns next September and our panel has early predictions on which celebrities could get involved in 2019.

    Danny John-Jules, Kate Silverton and Ashley Roberts discuss the joy and strain of Strictly
    Nov 12 2018
    Danny John-Jules tells us what he’s taken away from being on Strictly - he was wearing flip-flops throughout our chat as that’s all his feet could take at this point. Plus Kate Silverton and Ashley Roberts have a deep and meaningful about how vital the support is that they’re getting from the rest of the Strictly gang. It’s all about the hugs you see. Host Rachel Ward looks ahead to Blackpool and the Boyzone Children in Need special with this week’s panel of Jess McAree and Chrissy Amer, and instead of the kids’ verdict this week we get the opinion on the dancing from an expert grandma. There’s also a close look at how often Craig Revel Horwood brings out his ten paddle, which he’s yet to find so far this series.

    Dr Ranj, waiting for the loo at Strictly, and tales from the studio
    Nov 5 2018
    Dr Ranj reflects on his time in Strictly and how his only negative feedback from fans was if his dance came too late on in the show and parents need to get kids to bed. Debbie McGee and host Rachel Ward were in the studio for the weekend’s shows and reveal what it’s really like to be in the Strictly audience with only a juice and a Freddo to keep you going for more than 7 hours. Plus, alongside the rest of the Talking Strictly panel, the Telegraph’s Chrissy Amer and Jess McAree, there’s a slight educational aspect this week concerning historical and cultural differences dealing with what to do when you really need the loo. There is thankfully much critique of the dancing as well, from whether the new couples’ choice is fair, to who is edging closest towards that winning position. A trio of teenagers also share their differing opinions on the contestants, and Kim Rowell takes a look at the leaderboards over the years to see whether it can predict who will win.
