Anton’s out! Heartbroken.

Talking Strictly

We all saw it coming but it didn’t make it any easier for Debbie McGee and the Talking Strictly panel to wave goodbye to Anton du Beke, the first pro to be voted out in 2018 alongside his celebrity partner Susannah Constantine. We’ve got the results of our poll on Anton’s choice of partners over the years, and it was a weekend of surprises with Lee and that quiff facing the dance-off (we blame the lack of thumb ring this week) Plus Strictly finally did it, showing same sex couples dancing in the pro-routine on Sunday night. Our kid critics are rooting for Joe Sugg, while we look ahead to Movie Week and present you with a selection of song stats, delving into how regularly some tracks get played. New episodes land here every Monday teatime, and you can email us at [e-mail] or give us a shout on social media using the hashtag #TalkingStrictly.
