James Bond! Bodyguard! Er, Shrek! It’s movie week on the dancefloor, as the celebrities strut their stuff to tunes from the film world – and hope to avoid elimination tomorrow
Evening all, and welcome to this week’s Strictly Come Dancing liveblog! Despite our annual grumblings that Week Three is FAR too early for a theme, the Strictly gods persist in emptying out the BBC prop cupboard for a night at the Movies. Suspend all expectation of actual technique in favour of a hot mess of gimmicks and nonsense, although I admit that in previous years we’ve actually quite enjoyed it in the end. But I feel like the liveblog chuntering has become as much Strictly tradition as the wobbly lamppost and the Flavia Wig.
Kick-off is at 6.45pm, and it’s still two hours ten minutes – we may have lost Nina and Neil, but Tom and Amy are back. Like an M.C. Escher drawing, Strictly only gives the ILLUSION of getting smaller.
