Strictly Come Dancing 2017

[Cleoriff]

It's that time of year again....Some love it and others hate it....

However, BBC have announced the first 'celebrity' to join the line up for Strictly Come Dancing 2017.

It's Mollie King from the girl band The Saturdays (Frankie Bridge from the same group appeared in 2014)

Mollie King....

I love Halloween. Last year the costumes ranged from brilliant to awful

I know we should be judging the dancing but I honestly feel that pales into insignificance when they wear rubbish outfits. I remember being shocked when Jay danced at Halloween. He was dressed as a werewolf and looked ridiculous. I was so annoyed I didn't watch his dance!!!

Halloween is also my favourite week, closely followed by Movie Week.

I agree with you @Cleoriff. I also lose interest in the dance if the costume is hideous. Thing is it's the first thing you notice even before they start dancing.

With the resources Strictly have, there's no excuse for poor costumes. A bit of imagination goes a long way.

My memory of last year was that I wasn't knocked out by any of the costumes or make-up. It was a real letdown.

So Brian has gone. That leaves 3 more to go - Susan, Ruth and Simon.

Unless a miracle happens, of course 🤣

Shouldn’t that have been in a spoiler tag?

It was between Brian and Simon. Not much between them and it was more or less said by the judges. Simon won by a whisker. Both were equally bad if you ask me.
